tliey were doing. , NotwitU andiugall the efforts made, no system of classification approaching perfection had yet been ■ introduced. Tho reason was that it cost money, andythe Legislature did not consider it necessary to (md funds for the complete classification of prisoners ; therefore a f Judge had very serious difficulty in the administration of justice. He had learnt that it was possible in Invercargill for the gaoler to Keep boys apart, and only . under those circumstances could he pass a sentence. Had adults committed the offence they wonld deserve a, considerable , period of penal servitude. Morecombe and Pomeray had previously been convicted, and they would be sentenced to six months' hard labor ; Rogers and Asprey, ■ :/ -" ■as first offenders, would have three monthshard labor. The sentences, his Honor, remarked, were as light as ho dare pass.
