MONEY RETAINED
DIVIDEND AT THE RACES MEAN THEFT FROM FRIEND (By Telegraph.—l'ress Association) WANGANUI, Monday “This was a particularly mean theft from a friend.” said Mr J. H. Salmon, S.M., to-day, in admitting Alexander Ileber McMinn to twelve months’ probation and ordering him to take out a prohibition order for the theft of £45 10s, the property of J. vV. T. Hamilton. The evidence showed that the two men had worked together on the Parapara Road. Hamilton handed McMinn some tickets on Laughing Lass in the last race on Saturday, asking him to collect the dividends, which lie was seen to do. but he did not give the money to Hamilton and when spoken to by the police denied he ever had it. He expressed regret in Court for what he had done, saying lie was muddled by drink.
