"SHOCKING CASE"
HEAVY SENTENCE FOR WOMAN (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Maud Herbert, aged 49, for unlawfully using an instrument, was sentenced to seven years' imprisonment by Mr. Justice Herdman. His Honour said that, but for the fact that some members of the Grand Jury were apparently unable to take the correct view of the statutory limitations of their legal duties, Herbert would have stood her trial for murder. Ho had no doubt that the prisoner was directly responsible ■ for the young woman's death. Never before in his career had he listened to a story so shocking and so utterly revolting.
