FORMER MANAGING DIRECTOR SENTENCED. 21 YEARS’ IMPRISONMENT WITH HARD LABOUR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A term of 2j years’ imprisonment with hard labour was imposed by the Chief Justice (Sir M. Myers) on Leonard Bowley Bolton-Moss, company director, on each of five charges, the sentences to be concurrent. Bolton-Moss pleaded guilty in the Magistrate’s Court to five charges of having, while managing director of the firm of Hamiltons (Australia and New Zealand) Ltd., on various dates in 1939, 1940, and 1941 converted to his own use sums totalling £lO6O. The Chief Justice remarked that though the sum concerned in the five charges amounted to approximately £lO5O, from the depositions it would appear that the real sum was something like £9OOO. Mr. Cunningham, for the Crown, said some of that money had beep used for overhead expenses, although this was not authorised, and for paying the prisoner’s salary, but he had certainly used £3OOO for his own purposes.
