FALSE DECLARATION
BRIDE OF FOURTEEN YEARS. DUNEDIN, Dec. 3. AVilliam John Parsons appeared before Mr Justice Sim in the Supreme Court this morning for sentence on a charge of making a false declaration at Cromwell under the Marriage Act. On behalf of the prisoner, Air J. C. Parcell said that there seemed to be very little in the Case. Accused had given the age of the girl he married as sixteen, whereas she was fourteen. In imposing a fine of £5, His Honour remarked that in these cases it was not usual to grant probation, but to order a fine, or if the case were serious, to order imprisonment.
