MEAN THEFT
ACCUSED GIVEN PROBATION. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) WANGANUI, This Day. “This was a particularly mean theft from a friend,” said the Magistrate, Mr J. H. Salmon, in admitting” Alexander Heber McMinn to twelve months’ probation today and ordering him to take out a prohibition order, on a charge of theft of £45 10s, the property pf J. W T. Hamilton.' The evidence showed that the two men had worked together on the Parapara Road. Hamilton handed him some tickets on Laughing Lass in the last race on Saturday, asking him to collect the dividends, which he was seen to do but he did not give the money to Hamilton and when spoken to by the police he denied that he had ever had it. He expressed regret in Court for what he had done, saying he was muddled by drink.
