“CLEAN CATCH”
CARPENTER ADMITS THEFT OF BOOTS GAOLED FOR MONTH Having admitted to his captors that it was “a clean catch,” Alfred Hill pleaded guilty at the Police Court this morning to the theft of a pair of boots valued at 22s Gd. from Benjamin .Or ban. Convictions for drunkenness only were all that stood to Hill’s credit so far, according to Sub-Inspector McCarthy. The boots had been taken from outside a shop and a passer-by had informed the shopkeeper. Mr. Orban, with a friend, had followed Ilill down the street and accosted him, when the boots had been found underneath his overcoat. “He admitted that it was a clean catch,” added the sub-inspector. “So it is his first conviction for theft,” commented Mr F. K. Hunt, S.M., imposing a term of a month’s imprisonment.
