REFORMATIVE DETENTION
THEFTS BY BRANCH MANAGER OBSERVATIONS BY JUDGE (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Two years’ reformative detention was the sentence imposed on Cyril Graham Storry by Mr Justice Northcroft in the Supreme Court this morning. Storry had pleaded guilty to four charges of theft as a servant while employed at Woolworths as a branch manager. “Your case is a serious one,” said his Honour. “It represents systematic depredations upon your employers. It has the aggravating circumstance that it was theft from your employers and is particularly aggravated here by the fact that you were in charge and had a duty to protect rather than destroy the interests of your employers. It seems to be aggravated also by the circumstance that it was not done under need.”
Counsel said that the amount the police had been able to trace as stolen was only £235 but Storry had informed the police of offences making the total £B4O.
