DUNEDIN SUPREME COURT. By Telegraph—Press Association. DUNEDIN, May 13. Prisoners were sentenced by Mr Justice Kennedy in the Supreme Court as follows; — William Parry, five charges of breaking and entering, in one of which he used explosives, two years’ imprisonment with hard labour; John Bond, aged 49, unnatural offence on a boy, three years and a half imprisonment with hard labour; Edward Farris, breaking and entering stores in the city and at Mosgiel, 21 months’ imprisonment with hard labour; he was described as the leader of a gang.
Margaret Rankin Bloy, single, on a charge of birth concealment, was admitted to probation. Leonard Chalmers Young, on three charges of theft and misappropriation of moneys that were the proceeds of the sale of debentures in the Metropolitan Theatre Company, was sentenced to 18 months’ reformative detention. The judge, in sentencing him, said such persons were a real danger to thrifty but inexperienced persons, adding: “It doesn’t seem to have troubled you that you misappropriated a widow’s money.”
