STOLE HORSES AND THEN SOLD THEM
THEFTS AT WHAKATANE “It is very difficult to know what to do with a man of this type. Several short sentences do not seem to have had any effect on him,” commented Mr. Justice MacGregor in the Supreme Court this morning in sentencing John Fraser to nine months’ imprisonment with hard labour for the theft of a mare at Whakatane. “I leave it in your hands to pass sentence as leniently as possible,” prisoner told his Honour, saying that he had offered to make restitution and was serving a three months’ sentence on a similar charge. The Crown prosecutor, Mr. V. R. Meredith, said prisoner had committed several depredations of a like nature and the one with which he was at present charged was only one of a series. He used horses and then sold them.
