FORMER sub-lieutenant in the Navy, who
was
Adischarged with ignominy Inst. April after being
convicted by court-martial,at Alexandria on a charge of stealing £200, appeared at London Sessions recently—— prosecuted by his mother.
The man, Kenneth Wharrie Ross (23), pleaded guilty to breaking into the shop of Mrs. Dora Ross, his mother, at Bromley, Kent, on August 28, and stealing £5.
Mr. Maxwell Turner, prosecuting, said that Ross, on being dis-
charged from the Navy, returned to England.
"He went round," gal counsel, "to his old school friends, bor- rowing money from them in quite substantial eums-in one case as much as £100. All these debts his mother had to repay.
"Then he obtained jewellery, sometimes from his mother and sometimes from other people,, and all this had to be redeemed and returned by his mother.
כי
"Ros spent the money partly in drink for himself and partly in entertaining friends at fashionable London hotels,
"When his mother went on holiday he broke into her house once, if not twice, and took jewellery and pawned it, and later broke Into her shop."
Counsel added that the mother felt that the only thing to do for the protection of herself and others, and in The interests of her boy, was to invoke the aid of the law. It was very painful for her, and she did not wish for any severe sentence to be passed.
Rosa pleaded that he had not realised the seriousness of affence. Sentence was postponed until the. October session.
