On one of the rape counts he was gaoled for three years with the whipping. On the other he was gaoled for 2½ years. On the shop charges he was gaoled for 12 months each. The sentences were made concurrent. His Honor said that Walton's conduct and contemptible deception of the girls all suggested that a whipping was needed. Walton had other convictions. Counsel had said all that could be said for him. Mr J.P. Callaghan for Walton. |
