Senior-Detective Murray said the boy had been in the habit of entering the school library during the evenings to study. One night he found the library door locked and, in a sense of frustration, he set fire to the building. Damage totalling £3340 had been done in the first fire, including the destruction of £B4O worth of books.
At the request of the Child Welfare Deoartment, the case was adjourned until April 24. _ .
