Sugar theft case ends with suspended judgment
The defendant did not report the sugar theft to railway authorities after a bag was found on a verandah as a guard watched the train. Vaterek Quirk testified two years earlier he was sent to catch a sugar bag. Moses family members said the bag lay at their house. Inspector Andie gave similar evidence. After submissions, the PLM convicted the defendant and discharged her on entering Mtna Teteynisance in lieu of five pounds to appear for judgment within three months if called upon.
