ENFORCING PROBATION.
MOVE TO WITHDRAW . CASE. REFUSAL OF MAGISTRATE. [BT TELEGRAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. When Harry Louis Giles appeared before Mr. E. D. Mosley, S-M., in the Police Court to-day, charged with breaking the terms of his release on probation, the probation officer, Mr. Darby, after stating that Giles had often failed to report and to make restitution as ordered, said he would withdraw the case, as Giles was in his last two days of probation. "I'm not going to allow you to withdraw the case," said the magistrate. "Probation is a serious matter, amounting to a moderated punishment of the Court. If a man on probation does not comply with the terms of his release on probation he must come before the Court again. The system is no good unless strictly enforced. "He is convicted and fined £2 and costs, in default 14 days' imprisonment."
