THE "FEATHER GANG."
JUVENILE DEPRAVITY.
[by telegraph.—own correspondent.]
•' Wellington", Thursday. The members of the juvenile " feather gang" were before the Court for sentence to-day, and the boys, who were nearly all under 10 years of age, were mostly accompanied by their parents, but appeared to enjoy their situation. The ringleader is a lad of 10, who has been up before for sleeping out at nights. He had a number of keys in his possession.
The boys, the magistrate said, had got beyond the control of their parents, who were to blame. He sentenced the lads to receive a varying number of strokes of the birch, the ringleader to receive 10, and to bo sent to an industrial school.
