Intervening dramatically when three German internees, recaptured after escaping last month, came up for sentence in the Criminal Court today on charges of housebreaking and sheepstealing, the Crown Prosecutor, Mr. Nolan, caused a sensation by pleading for them. He said: “These men are German nationalists. It is the duty of every national, if interned or imprisoned, to escape if he can, so that he can serve his country. It am making a plea for these men because there are thousands of our men in a similar position in Germany. I suggest that they be returned to internment without penalty." Further remanding the men.
