CAR “BORROWERS”
IDLE MEN’S CRIME BOTH GET GAOL TERMS Frank Andrew Morgan, aged 27, and Henry Ernest Bond, aged 26, pleaded guilty at the Police Court to-day to five charges of converting motor-cars to their own use. Morgan is already serving a sentence of three months’ imprisonment for stealing a car. Chief-Detective Hammond said that accused had been living together and doing no work. They seemed to have spent their time drinking and appropriating cars. The Rev. Jasper Calder said that Morgan accepted the whole responsibility for the thefts. Bond was a delicate man unable to do hard work. Morgan was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment, to take effect on the expiration of his present term. Bond was sentenced to a month’s imprisonment on one charge, and on the others he was ordered to come up for sentence any time within two years.
