AN EXPENSIVE JOKE
YOUTHS’ ASSAULT ON LAD. Dominion Special Service. Auckland, December 14. “We must put this “ragging” business down ;it is not at all fair, four big young chaps on to one boy.” This was what Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., told a trio of youths in fining them £1 for assault, in the Magistrate’s Court, to-day. Another boy, who did not appear, was fined a similar sum. Sub-Inspector McCarthy said that the four youths got hold of the boy, who was working in a garage with them, and rubbed grease on his body. They did it as a joke, and never intended it to be an assault.
