Imprisonment For Four Years
Sapper Ernest Sutcliffe, aged 20, of Whitfield Barracks, was sent to prison for four years by Mr Justice Gould in the Criminal Sessions this morning when he pleaded guilty, through his Counsel, to unlawful posses- sion of two Service revolvers and 348 rounds of ammunition.

handed over to the police, had managed to affect his escape. When ond of the gentlemen robbed com- plained of such laxity on the part of the police, we are told, that Mr May the Superinten dent, acked him "why he did not proceed with the prisoner to the Police Station and lay formal charge?-that had ho done so the prisoner would have been locked up in a prison cell, from whence he could not have got away Poor excusa this; and so thought the party whose premises had been in- vaded; and His Excellency the Governor's attention having been drawn to the circumstances, the Assistant Magistrate was directed to make an investign- tion; and the result of that has been that Mr Inspector 'Me- Kenzie forfeits $20 (half pay.)
