THE SILVER NET

•TWO untrustworthies were dealt 1 with by Chief Justice Skerritt last week. Donald McLeod Wilson, who, as •ssistant accountant with the firm of Kirkoaldie and Stains Ltd., helped himself firstly to something over £IOOO, was given a chance to rehabilitate himself but again dipped deeply into other's funds to the tune of £SOO, was the first. Kirkcaldies gave him his chance and he got so far as repaying £72 of the stolen money. Having pleaded guilty to the second lot of defalcations, his honor handed him out four years' reformative detention, and left it to the discretion of ; the Prisons Board to release him earlier if it thought fit. Harry Stephen Liversage, as cashier for Joseph Nathan & Co., in' carrying out his peculations, absorbed nearly. £6OOO of hie employers' cash. In sentencing him to four,,years' reformative detention, his Honor said, he didn't believe Uvergage's tale of peculation to cover up the loss of two earlier ' .' sums of money. «S*f 1111111 f 111111 mm 1111111111 r 111111 fll n ■ 1111 r 1111111 i 1111 ■ 111111 ■ 1111 rt 111111111111111 ri r i (1111111
