SHORT, SHARP LESSON
KAIKOHE MEN SENTENCED LIVING WTTH MAORIS “I propose to give you a short, sharp lesson,” said Mr. Justice Blair in the Supreme Court this morning in imposing a sentence of 12 months’ reformative detention on Percival Lewis and George Samuel Conaghan, who had pleaded guilty at Kaikohe to breaking, entering and theft. Neither prisoner had anything to say. “Your past records show that you have taken some interest in work,” continued his Honour. “I would have taken a more lenient view but for the fact that you both have been living with the Maoris, and one of you on them.”
