NAMES OF OFFENDERS.
FUBMCItY A DETERRENT. SHOP-LIFTING CASE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. When a case of shop-lifting was being heard in the Police Court this morning, counsel for the accused asked the magistrate to direct that the names of the accused, who were first offenders, should not be published. , Detective-'Sergeant Hammond, who was prosecuting, pointed out that the case having been previously before the Court, the names had already been published. Apart from that, however, he said, the strongest deterrent in cases of shoplifting was the publicity afterwards -given in the Police Court. “It is really the greatest deterrent we have,” he added. The magistrate, Mr. McKean, said it was only in exceptional cases that he would give a direction in regard to the non-publication of names.
