THEFT OF UNION FUNDS
MAN SENT TO GAOL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A term of three months’ -imprisonment with hard labour was imposed on Rupert John Ashmond for the theft of union funds totalling £22 ss. Mr Luxford, S.M., commented on the meanness of the theft and said it was impossible to extend probation in view of the man’s record over ten years, showing that he seemed to have a complete disregard for the property rights of others. He had been given an opportunity of making good without prosecution, and could reasonably have done so, and must take the consequences. The theft was from workmen on the Whirokino deviation job.
