THEFT AND RECEIVING
SENTENCE INCREASED Having been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment by the Supreme Court, Summers Heruiha Edwards appeared at the Police Court this morning for sentence on six charges of receiving and two of theft. Detective-Sergeant Kelly described Edwards’s offences as of a mean nature. “They include the theft of Communion vessels from St. Luke’s Anglican Church,” he said. Mr. F. W. Schramm, for the prisoner, said that he was not quite normal mentally, having received head injuries in the war. He asked that the Court make no increase to the sentence already imposed. Edwards was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment on the first charge, being convicted and discharged on the remaining seven.
