PROBATION, FOR FISHERMAN
THEFT OF GRAMOPHONE “NOT A SERIOUS CASE” “In view of your good record, I am roing to give you another chance,” said Mr. Justice Blair, in the Supreme Court on Saturday to Edward John Taylor, fisherman, of Thames, who was found guilty of theft of a gramophone and sundry articles at Tararu Bay. Mr. Rudd, instructed by Mr. C. J. Garland, of Th&rnes, asked for probation. Addressing prisoner, his Honour said originally he had been charged with breaking, entering, and theft, but the jury had found guilt on a charge of theft only. The case was not a serious one. Taylor was admitted to probation for two years, and was ordered to pay the costs of the prosecution.
