A YOUNG LARRIKIN.
MEMBER OF "GREY CAP" PUSH
WHO BROKE INTO HOUSES.
When a fine looking boy of 15 appeared before Mr., F. K. Hunt.. 5.M.,. at the Juvenile Court this morning on a charge of breaking and entering a shop and committing a crime therein, Chief Detective Cummings asked for a remand to March 18. "This boy is a member of the 'grey cap push,', and as your Worship will see, wears his stockings rolled down to his boot tops," said Chief Detective Cummings. "He also has what is known as the 'Mike Flynn' hair- cut, and is very proud of it too. He has been getting up at 2 o'clock in the mornings and has been breaking into houses. He won't do anything hia father tells him."
Mr. Hunt: 0h., ; won't he. I think I had better send him up to gaol oh remand that's all. To the youthful accused: What will you do. go up ■to gaol; or promise mc to do what your father tells you?
"I'll do what dad tells mc," replied the lad.
Mr. Hunt: Very well you had better report yourself to the Ponsonby police every "morning and night. And have the rest of your hair cut off, too.
