BREACH OF TRUST
Prison For Forgery (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CIIKISTCHUROH, May 3. “Violations of trust which must exist between men living in camps and barracks must be treated seriously,” said Mr. Justice Northcroft in the Supreme Court today in sentencing Reginald Albert Henry Strudwick to six mouths’ imprisonment for forging cheques. Strudwick was a parachute packer, at Wigram and, finding a Post Office bank book, forged two withdrawal slips. “Probation cannot be granted in such a case as this,” said the judge. “In the very nature of things, men living together in camps and barracks must trust each other. It is not possible to secure their personal tilings against theft, and their security must be their trust in the honesty of their comrades. When this trust is broken there is not only material loss, but also a general loss of confidence in one another. Those who offend against this code must not expect to receive indulgent sentences from this Court.”
