THEFTS BY YOUNG BOYS.
FOUR LADS IN COURT, THRASHING IN ONE CASE. Several boys appeared in the .Juvenile Offenders Court before Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M., on Saturday. A 13-year-old boy was charged with breaking and entering a shop, and with theft. It was stated that he had been before the Court previously, and that he was now rather beyond the control of his parents. Mr. Schramm suggested that tho boy might go to relatives in the country. Tha magistrate said that he did not want to convict the boy, who might make good on a farm. If ho was thrashed by his father to the satisfaction of the probation officer, there wotdd be no conviction, but otherwise, he would order a conviction arid ten strokes of the birch. The case was therefore adjourned for a week. Two boys, aged 12 and 13 years, who had gone into a warehouse and stolen leather cloth and a pair of scissors, were admonished and discharged. Another boy who had stolen a snooker ball was also admonished and discharged.
