THEFT OF BOOKS

A story of the, sacrifices of pour parents to send their brilliant son Cambridge was told by Mr. Norman Birkett, KC., at Cam- bridge when defending George David Anderson, twenty, an under- graduate of Emmanuel College. Anderson pleaded guilty to eight charges, or stealing books and he asked that two other charges of stealing books at King's Lynn should also be taken into con- sideration.

It was stated that five hundred and eight books valued at £70 had been stolen, mostly from bookshops, the thefts covering a period from 1929 to May this year

Mr. Birkett said it was a most remarkable case and he was going to ask the Bench to take a cer- tain course in order that this bril. lant lad should not have his life entirely ruined. Grievous as the offences were, they had been con- fined to books and there had been no, attempts. to steal in order to get money. The first books stolen were designed to assist Anderson's study, but later on just for the mere acquisition of books.
