Parents Worried About British Ship Deserter
AUCKLAND, This Day (P.A.).— Worried because their son cabled under a false name, giving a forwarding address at the Auckland Post Office, the parents ' of Kenneth Charles Nicholas gave information to the London office of the New Zealand Shipping Company, in the hope that the company would have him sent home. In the Police Court today Nicholas, a ship’s cook, aged 19 years, pleaded guilty to deserting from the Rangitane.' “Unforunately the law does not enable the Court to deal with you in the way we like,” the Magistrate, Mr J. H. Luxford, told Nicholas. He added that it was to be hoped the statutory power would be given to place such cases on probation and to deport the man concerned to his own country. Nicholas was fined £lO and costs also solicitors’ fees and was placed on probation for two years.
