Nonkarvis, alias Major, alias Brown, pleaded guilty to having stolen six dish trays, value 4s 6d, the property of H. Fuhrmann. Prisoner handed a written statement to the Magistrates, about which Mr Ollivier said it was an attempt to make out a very plausible story of acoused. The fact was, however, that he had been only let out of gaol the day before, and there he was again a candidate for the honors of the look-up. He had been convicted of larceny sevon times, and being altogether a dangerous character, the best thing that could be done with him would be to put him out of the way of temptation. Prisoner was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment, with hard labor.
