Richar^ Frederick Martyn appeared for sentence in the Supreme Court this morning for the theft of four gold cups at Burwood Station last August, Mr Justice Kennedy ordered that the prisoner should be detained for reformatiye purposes for 15 months, In passing sentence his Honour said that the crime had long been eyolved in the accused 's mind and that for months the plqnder had been concealed and its whereabouts only revealed under duress. "You have not been in trouble for many years, ' ' added tho judge, "but your previous experieuces shauld have taught you that dishonesty does not pay. In view of the fact that yqu have not been ixl trouble since 1918 I propose to make the sentence one of reformative detention and not of hard labour."
