HIS LAST CHANCE
CANVASSER ADMITTED TO PROBATION SCORE OF CHARGES “The next time you come up you will get two years’ imprisonment, w observed Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Police Court this morning, when admitting Thomas Alfred Botterill to 12 months’ probation. Botterill pleaded guilty to 20 charges, all tout one of theft, on Monday. After pleading:, Botterill made a strong plea for probation, saying that j he had not thought he was committing theft., as he was under the impression that the sums he took were commission which was due to him. The firm, for which he was working on commission, had required him to pay travelling expenses, and there had been illness in his family. “Your parents made restitution last time you were up,” said the magistrate this morning. “This is the last chance you are going to get, so try to be honest in the future, and not take other people’s money. I am giving you this chance because of your wife and two young children.” Accused was ordered to make restitution of £S 15s 4d.
