A BOY'S ESCAPADES (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.

A boy, who recently set nine launches adrift at Brighton, admitted in the Children's Court to-day having set fire to the cottages and scrub. A thrashing was suggested by the Magistrate, but finally after a conference with the Juvenile Probation Officer, under whoso care the boy was placed after the launch episode, he was convicted and discharged.
