REFORMATIVE DETENTION
COMPLICITY IN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY PROVED YOUNG MAN SENTENCED Two years’ reformative detention was the sentence imposed by Mr. Justice Ilerdman, in the Supreme Court today, on Harold John Windsor, who was convicted yesterday of abetting an attempted burglary. The crime was committed at New Lynn on February 3. two other men, who were involved, having confessed to breaking and entering a store. Mr. Noble said that a number of the family were serving sentences of imprisonment. The prisoner had been in gaol before and counsel suggested a short term of gaol should be imposed. His Honour said that the jury had rightly found the prisoner guilty of being associated with his brother and another man of attempted breaking and entering. The prisoner was in a curious position, having a number of brothers in gaol and a sister in a probation home. He had been in Borstal following a conviction at Napier, but his Honour did not know what would happen if the prisoner went on in the , same way.
