Station Hand Walton Pleads Guilty To Two Thefts

Walton pleaded guilty and elected summarily on charges of stealing a circular saw blade worth £18 from F. N. Snow and Son and a Hargan saw valued at £90 from Lanyon Pty. Ltd. Statements by witnesses were read and Walton’s prior convictions noted. Defence urged leniency citing a long steady tenure as a station hand, a family, and financial pressure. The magistrate noted the offences were dishonest with substantial value and discussed sentencing limits.
