LENIENCY FOR A BAD CHARACTER
Wife's Plea Prevails
An unusual scene occurred on Saturday at Central Magistracy when a Chinese woman whose husband, Wo Ping, had been sen tenced to six months' hard labour for stealing $680 worth of jewellery and $238 in cash from his father at 67 Lockhart Road, knelt before. Mr. Schofield and pleaded that her husband be bound over by the Court. Prisoner's father also made a plea for leniency."
Detective Sergeant Nollath said that the father had previously insisted on the prosecution. The son had a bad récord, which, in- cluded four previous convictions.
The Magistrate however, revised the sentence and bound the defen- dant oyer in a sum of $200 to be of; good behaviour for one year and to come up for adgment if required.
Bergeant Noliath said that de- fendant, who lived with his father, on August 20 stole a cash box from his mother's room and absconded.
The next day he was discovered with a woman in Spring argen Lane and arrested."
*
The proceeds of the theft had been spent on furniture, clothing and Jewellery, much of which had been given to the women.
These were handed to the police by the woman, as soon as the knew that they were stolen property.
