TOTAL OF FIFTEEN YEARS IN PRISON
RING THIEF FINED “I don’t want him to go in if he ran pay it,” said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., this morning, when he fined Julian Huggins, aged 69, £3 or 14 days for stealing a ring valued at that amount. Chief l>etective Cummings told the court that the owner of the ring and the accused boarded at the same house in Symonds Street. She had accidentally left the ring lying about, and Huggins took it and sold it to a dealer. "He’s not very long out, sir,” said Chief Detective Cummings, handing up Huggins’s list, which showed that he had spent one period of five, and another of ten, years in prison on a serious charge. Huggins is only earning £1 a week, so he said, so the magistrate allowed him a week to pay.
