SHEER GRATITUDE
"This young man had been out of work for some days," said Chief-De-tective Boddiun, when a young mam namod Lionel Pengelly was brought before Mr. E. Page, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court this morning. "He met a' man named Alfred Ansell, to whom he told his- troubles. Ansell obtained him' a position in a restaurant, whore ho was to have started work this morning, and, out of sheer gratitude, Pengelly stole Ms benefactor's wristlet watch, and later pawned it for 6s. In view of the fact that this young man has no place of abode, and has been sleeping out and generally merely 'knocking about,' I would ask that sentence might be de; ferred till Saturday morning, in order •that further inquiries may be made." The Magistrate agreed to defer passing sentence accordingly.
