CHARGE OF DESERTION DISMISSED
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, December 10
“Steps should be taken by some authority to help this lad and assist him to get back to England,” said Mr A. M. Gouldirig, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court to-day, when he dismissed a charge of deserting from the Ericbank at Wellington on November 12 against Herbert Leonard Cornwell, aged 17, a cabin boy. The Magistrate said that the boy had made an honest explanation and admitted that he made a mistake in not finding out when his ship was to sail, and in leaving it without permission.
