Severe Penalties For Black-Out Burglars
At London Sessions last month sentence of five years’ penal servitude for a burglary during the black-out was passed on Septimus Mills, aged 64, described as a labourer. The acting deputy chairman, G. Russell Vick, K.C., passing sentence, said: "There is no doubt that you used the black-out for the purpose of carrying on crime, and, so far as I am concerned, I am determined that it should be widely known by all the criminal classes that the punishment which will be given by Courts for offences committed during such a time in this country will be very heavy."
