BEHIND BARS AGAIN
CANT CANT TAKE HINT
ABUSED LENIENCY
Because he abused leniency shown to him yesterday, William Cant, aged 53, will spend the next three months in Mount Eden prison.
At the Police Court yesterday he was ordered to come up for sentence when C£i lied upon. Last night he was scheduled to spend under the care of the Salvation Army authorities, but instead of doing that he got drunk.
At the court to-day he admitted drunkenness, and appeared for sentence on the vagrancy charge.
Senior-Sergeant Edwards said he had 25 assorted convictions.
It’s my misfortune, getting drunk,” said Cant, when Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., sentenced him to three months’ imprisonment.
