THIRTEEN THEFTS
FIRM LOSES £440 EMPLOYEE GETS TWO YEARS Press Associatton. WELLINGTON, To-day. Found guilty yesterday on 13 counts involving the theft of sums amounting to about £440, Joseph Henry Pike came before Mr. Justice Smith to-day for sentence. “Had the jury Jcnown the prisoner had received sentences of three and five years’ reformative detention for theft on previous occasions,” said his Honour, “they would not perhaps have recommended mercy.” He thought he would be giving due weight to the circumstances of the accused’s employment and the jury’s recommendation with a sentence of a year’s imprisonment, to be followed by not more than a year’s reformative detention. Clarence Raymond Mackay was admitted to a further two years’ probation for a breach of his probation order, provided that he paid two guineas costs. Claude Capron, for a breach of his probation order, had his term extended for four months, and ordered to pay two guineas costs.
