Ordered
(New Zealand Press Association) PALMERSTON NORTH, March 19.
“The Court will not tolerate young hooligans behaving in the manner this youth behaved the other day—people must not be subjected to young louts brandishing knives in their faces,’’ said Mr D. G. Sinclair, S.M., in the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court today, when Colin Edward Knuth, aged 19, of Palmerston North, appeared for sentence on charges of being found drunk in a public place, of using obscene language, of assault, of resisting Sergeant W. J. Goodall in the lawful execution of his duty, and of being in possession of a springloaded knife. Knuth was convicted and discharged on the drunkenness charge. On the others he was sentenced to Borstal training.
