GUILTY OF SHOPLIFTING GIVEN A CHANCE "RUT for your condition I would send you to gaol. This is your fifth offence.” Dorothy Weller, aged 27, was crying as Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., said this to her in the Police Court yesterday when she appeared for sentence on a charge of stealing goods from a draper’s shop in Karangahape Road. Mr. J. J. Sullivan made a plea for leniency on account of the woman’s condition. She was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence at any time within two years.
