bleffl. 'Theis,_ ortheyoung marc, Ave.
sentenced`wo es-s•'=ln the `8ritur
Reformatory when he appeared for sen-
tence before Magistrate J. A. Makins on
Thursday. 'Ttheil was charged with per-
forming an illegal operation on- a Seas -
forth girl and pleaded guilty two weeks
ago, changing his election from one cf
trial by judge and jury to one .of trial by
the magistrate.
Speaking on T'heil,'s behalf, counsel for
the accused said he had been told that
the young man 'was a good worker and
that he had been a resident of Seaforth
for several years. He had gone to Kit-
chener to work as a baker at $6 a week.
The aocused had caused no trouble but
had given Inirnself up to:, the polite and
made a statement to them.
The Crown Attorney, agreed that the
accused had had 9, hard life and that he
had given no trouble at the time of his
arrest. He pointed out, however, that
the court must take into account the
seriousness of such an offence. He also..
felt that the young man should be nnade
to realize the narrow escape he has had ;
in •that there 'w re not more serious re- 1
sults from his action.
"You are fortunate in more ways than
one," said His . Worship in passing sen-
tence on Their. "This is one orf the Most
serious Offences in the C•Q"�3e and you are
liable to life mtprisonment. Only the
words- -of your counsel and the Crown-
'Attorney
rownAttiorney saved you. I am taking into
account the fact that. your life rias not j
been a bed of roses in the past. The
offence is, nevertheless, much to be
frowned on. .The sentence will not be a
penitentiary tern; your counsel and the
crow•m asking that it should not be such,
but the reformatary sentence will have
to be the maximum." His Worship then
sentenced hien to two years less a day
determinate and 'not more than two
years less a. day indeterminate.
Joseph Friteley was charged with the
theft of goods, valued. at $2 and 50c in
money from Mr I. Hays and .facing a
second charge of stealing an overcoat
and a flashlight valued at $8 from Mr. ,
William Beatty. Pritzley pleaded "guilty "
