SAFE BLOWERS
A HAMILTON' CAS®. (By Telegraph—ter Press Association) HAMTHTON, Mai-cli 16. Reference to the recent attempt to blow up a safe at the Borough office was made in a case to-day, in which Charles Barclay Dewar, 57, pleaded not guilty to breach of his propationary license. The police stated Dewar was released from gaol on January loth. He admitted being in possession with his brother of explosive's, and concealed if, at Frankton. After an 'attempt on the offices, accused’s brother found the explosive had disappeared. No explanation was given. The police submitted accused was a convicted safe blower, and in unlawful possession of explosives. In’ sentencing Dewar to two months,' Mr Wyvern Wilson said the position was ridiculously incentive in such cases. After a judge had sentenced a man he was released earlier by the Prisons Board on "certain conditions, with no particulars of the term if they did not fulfil the conditions, and punishment was left to the magistrate or justices, who had to determine how long the man should serve. Dewar was fined £1 for breach of his prohibition order.
