£2O FINE.
A YOUTHFUL JOY-RIDER. [Trtß PBBBB Special Service.] AUCKLAND, February 4. Stating that ho was reluctant to send a boy of 18 years to prison, Mr W. R. McKean, S.M., imposed a fine of £2O on Frederick George Parkinson this afternoon, when the youth pleaded guilty to a charge of having converted to "his own use a motor-car valued at £4BO, the property of G. K. Mathiesoii. The offence was a fairly common one, and there must be some penalty, said his Worship, who considered that a monetary penalty spread over a period would serve to impress his guilt on the young man's mind. In addition to the fine Parkinson was ordered to make restitution of £4l las in respect of damage at the rate of 20s per week. If this is not p=*id. Parkinson will go to gaol for two months.
