there was no sign of the watch and it had not been returned. The girl was put on one year's probation and was
ordered to pay compensation.
2. Stole bottle of wine — gets seven years
After pleading guilty to stealing a bottle of wine, Robert Grook, 72, of no fixed address, was yesterday
sentenced by the chairman of a London court to 7 years of confinement.
The prosecutor said it was obvious that Grook broke a window with the intention of being arrested. He said
the prisoner had not eaten for a week.
Police said that Grook had 57 previous convictions, and when he broke the window he had been out of
prison for only six days.
3. Twelve old ladies arrested for gambling
Police caught 12 old ladies - the oldest was 87 -playing cards in a house, in one of the Hague's most

All 12 were arrested, as gambling is illegal in Holland. Police said the stakes were high and they seized
several thousand guilders. (A guilder is worth almost two shillings.)
