JUVBNILB COURT PROCBEDIXCIS.

TO IUK EDITOR. Sir,—ln ilia Juvenile Court to-day a yourg lad was brought before 11.is Worship on ilie charge of having stolen a certain sum of money, the property of It's employers, which, unfortunately, was the case. Chief-dclccsive Herbert, conducting the case, went, I think, beyond bounds in making the statement he did in referring to the parents of tbs boy being criminally guilty for the unfortunate position the lad got himself into. Tlte detective says he is a soft sort of a boy, not vicious or wild, but of a dull disposition, and easily managed. Now, I would like to ask the chief detective; If the boy is such a simple, soft sort, how is it that ins department could not lay hands ou him until he was brought by his own brother to the police station this morning, the charge against him having been laid six davs ago? Now", the lad has had every attention any parents could possibly give biw. Unfortunately. I was not in court this morning early enough to hear the statements made by the chief detective, otherwise I would certainly have given them ihe very blunt denial they deserved.— l am, etc., His Father. November 25.
