The defendant having pleaded "guilty," Divisional Inspector Arls pressed for a sentence of imprison- ment as the defendant had been previously dealt with department- ally for two other offences. The Magistrate fined the defondant $40 of four weeks' on the first charge, and $50 or one month's jail on the other.
