SUPPRESSION OF NAMES
MAGISTRATE’S INTIMATION
[special to “star.”]
AUCKLAND, June 19.
Further reference to the question of the suppression of names was made by Magistrate Hunt, when a girl, aged nearly 18, appeared on a charge of vagrancy. She pleaded guilty. , It was stated by the police that tire girl came from the Bay of Islands last January, and worked as a domestic at a house in Epsom, until a month ago. Since then she had been leading a loose life about the city and had associated with undesirable men.
“There is only one thing to do with this. girl, and that is to send her to a Borstal Institute,” said Major Annie Gordon. “She is a most unreasonable girl.” The Magistrate ordered accused to be detained there for reformative purposes for two years. Major Gordon then asked that the name of the girl be suppressed. “These girls don’t care at all, so lon°* as their names ai e not mentioned,” said Mr. Hunt. “They are more frightened of publicity than anything else.” Major Gordon stated that the girl was very young, and had not committed theft. . “All right, I’ll make an order in this case, Major, but I won’t do it again, replied the Magistrate.
