SHEEP STEALING.
GROWTH CAUSES CONCERN. FATHER AND SON IMPRISONED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, Friday. In the Supreme Court Alexander William Robinson (52), and his son, John William Robinson (25), were each sentenced to fifteen months’ reformative detention on charges of sheep stealing, conspiring to defraud, and false pretences. The Crown Prosecutor said sheep stealing was causing considerable oonoern to the police and farmers generally. Only recently a deputation of farmers waited on the police for the purpose of endeavouring to discover ways and means of preventing the growth of this crime and to detect it. It was a crime which the police found very difficult to detect, particularly because of the fact of moving motor traffic by which the sheep were removed. Gold Watch Stolen. On a charge of stealing a gold watch from a dwelling, Roy Poison, a young man, was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment.
