(By Telegraph.)
(Special to "The Evening Post.")
AUCKLAND, This Day.
"Quite a nice company they seem to be," remarked Mr. E. C. Cutten, S.M., this morning, when three youths named Leslie John Walding, Alder Francis Walding, and Albert Fickling were charged with assault. The first-named also was up for the. use of indecent language. He stated that one of the two complainants had called him an "Alick." Ho was not going to let him get away with that, so he took off his coat.
Mr. Cutten: "What's the matter with you? You're'on probation too."
Walding: "I don't know."
The Magistrate convicted him on all charges, saying that he was a rather troublesome proposition, and seemed to have a grievance against life. l_|p had been on probation for obscene language previously. Mr. Cutten said that he would not add to his troubles by putting him in gaol. He discharged him with a warning that he would be sent to Borstal next time. His brother was fined and Pickling ordered to pay a share of the costs.
