THREE YEARS’ PRISON
SUPREME COURT SENTENCE “NO PLACE FOR MISFITS” (By TelegTaph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Wednesday “New Zealand is too small a country for misfits from other places,” said Mr Justice Callan in the Supreme Court this morning when sentencing George Cecil Horry to three years’ imprisonment and declaring him an habitual criminal. Prisoner was found guilty of demanding money by menaces of assault with intent to commit a crime and assault so as to cause actual bodily harm. The judge said it was undoubtedly a bad case and prisoner had a long list of offences. The crime for which he was now before court had been committed within a few hours of coming out of gaol.
