HARSH TREATMENT ALLEGED.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION ]
OPOTIKI. Thursday An unusual case came before Mr. Kenrick, S.M., this morning. A Lad under 15 years of age, employed on a farm, took his employer's horse and started to ride home to Auckland. He took the wrong road, got stranded in the bush, and was brought to town by the police. The boy stated that he received harsh treatment from his employer. The magistrate said he was inclined to believe the lad story, and accepted a guarantee by Captain Taylor, of the Sal vation Army, to pay the* boy's fare and hand him over to his parents, no conviction being recorded.
