MISTAKEN IMPRESSION
YOUTHS AND PROBATION. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, June 8. In dealing with a youth of 18, Leslie Sidney Arthur, who pleaded guilty to four charges relating to the theft of cycles valued at £3l, also the theft from a motor car of ail overcoat valued at £2 10s, Air C. R. Orr-AA'alker, S.AL. in the Police Court to-day, said that lie was greatly concerned because young fellows making'their first appearances in Court oil series of theft charges apparently thought that they could get off oil probation for the first offences. If this was so, he would have to consider curtailing probation for first offenders when there was a series of offences. Probation was given in order to save youthful offenders from continuing a life of crime. Remarking that it was sad in this case that neither the father, the elder brother, nor the relatives, were present to sav anything in his favour, the Magistrate admitted Arthur to probation for three years and ordered him to make restitution.
