PRISONER’S APPEAL
COURT OF APPEAL HEARING WELLINGTON, This Day. The Court of Appeal today heard the case of the King versus Clement Robert Lawson. Having been sentenced to one year’s imprisonment with hard labour on each charge concurrently at Auckland in February, 1937, by Mr Justice Callan for offences of breaking and entering by night with intent to commit a crime and being in possession of housebreaking instruments and being also declared an habitual criminal the prisoner made an application to the Court of Appeal for the cancellation of that declaration. The Court this morning cancelled the declaration that he be an habitual criminal, but varied the remainder of the sentence to four years’ imprisonment with hard labour.
