" I don't think the Legislature meant suck applications to be granted in every eftse," said Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court at Christchurch on Tuesday, in declining to make, an order under the Offenders' Probation Act for the suppression of the name of a person who pleaded guilty to a charge of false pretences (state's the Lyttelton Times). The case, said Mr. M'Carthy, was practically one of shoplifting. Under circumstances such as these he did not think an order should be made, though accused had previously borne a good character and had made full restitution of the goods obtained. ■ - ■
