UNPROFITABLE LODGER
LEFT WITH BLANKETS TO GAOL FOR TWO MONTHS Taking with him, possibly as a memento, two blankets and a coat and vest belonging to his landlady’s son, Frederick John Taylor proved himself an unprofitable lodger. Taylor, described as cook or farmer aged 25, pleaded guilty, at the Police Court this morning, to the theft of a coat and vest valued at £1 and belonging to Arthur Hutchinson and two blankets valued at 35s the property of Agnes Hutchinson. According to Senior-Sergeant O'Grady, Taylor had been boarding at Mrs, Hutchinson’s home in Khyber Pass. He had taken the stolen articles, which had since been recovered, and pawned them. Taylor’s explanation was that he had been out of work for six months. He asked for leniency as he had work to go to at Whangarei and could leave on Friday.
Taylor was sentenced to two months’ imprisonment.
