He is very penitent about it and ask your Worship not to mete out such punishment as will force him to mix up with criminals of the worst nature as we must find in the Victoria Gaol.

Mr. D'Almada concluded by pointing out that the defendant was a young man and succumbed to temptation. He reminded his Worship that Mr. Perdue did not wish to be harsh on the defendant.

Mr. Perdue addressing his Wor ship said that it was pleasing 'to note that restitution had been made, but he could not help point- ing out that the offences were very serious in their nature as they extended from June last year to, January this year and involved worst $360. That was not the feature of the offence, which, said Mr. Perdue, involved obtaining money hy false pretences. False chops were used to show a receipt by a carpenter's firm.

Imprisonment Required,

His Worship at this point agreed with Mr. Ferdue that there were really three transactions on which the defendant could be charged.

Mr. Perdue continuing said that he might have stated that he did nqt wish to press the charge but he did not mean that he considered imprisonment was not required in the case. The nature of the offence was such that it could not possibly be met by a fine. Re- garding the restitution which do- fendant's relatives were prepared to make, Mr. Perdue said that that certainly showöd à certain amount of repentance.

Mr. D'Almada once again neked. his Worship to accept the young man's plea that it was a lapec which came in the way of tempta- tlón to a good many young men. He reminded his Worship that by. sending the young man to gaol, he was bound to associate with criminals and in that, way im prisonment would only mean breed. ing one more criminal..
