FOOLISH ACT
WOMAN ABANDONS HEE CHILD.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, 29th November. Declaring that she was not guilty of a criminal act, but. rather of a foolish one, Mi-. Justice Stringer to-day ordered a woman to come up for sentence when called upon in respect of a charge of unlawfully abandoning her child.
His Honour said that it was hardly a case of abandonment in an ordinary sense. The Probation Officer's report was a favourable one, and his Honour suppressed the woman's name from publication, stating that it was a case in which the public did not need protection, but in which the woman herself required to be protected.
