ONE YEAR'S DETENTION lALPOSED. Auckland, Last Night. When David AlcKenzie Stewart, aged 27, and Roy Patrick Batching, aged 20, appeared in the Supreme Court to-day for sentence for attempted robbery under arms their counsel pleaded for leniency. The Judge said: I propose to give you both terms of reformative detention, but even then I have some doubt as to whether I am not too lenient. You both require a sharp lesson, and I would be failing in my duty if I did not give it to you. lou will both be sentenced to one year’s reformative detention and Stewart will serve an extra six months on the other count of obtaining money by false pretences to which he pleaded guilty.
