BANK TELLER’S THEFT
(From Our Own Correspondent) NEW PLYMOUTH, Today. A sentence of 12 months’ reformative detention was imposed upon Everett Vauncey Hughes, a teller in the Stratford branch of the Bank of New South Wales, in the New Plymouth Supreme Court yesterday by the Chief Justice, the Hon. M. Myers. Hughes pleaded guilty to four thefts from the bank of sums totalling £240. He was not going to assume that the prisoner was a criminal by inclination, said his Honour, but he liad been in a position of trust, and such a case could not be passed over. If the prisoner’s position was all that had to be considered, it could probably be assumed that he had been adequately punished, but public interests had to be considered as well.
