GIRLS IN COURT.
SUPPRESSION OF NAME.
PUBLICITY IN FUTURE. " The only thing to do with this girl is to send her to Borstal," said Major Annie Gordon, the probation officer, in the Police Court yesterday, when a domestic, aged 17, whoso namo was ordered to be suppressed, was charged with being idle and disorderly in that she possessed insufficient lawful means of support. Sho admitted the charge. Sub-Inspector Shanahan said accused, who was nearly 18 years old, came to Auckland from the Bay of Islands in January. Sho worked for about four months at a homo in Epsom, but for the past few weeks had been about the city. " I have tried to reason with her, but sho will not listen," said Major Gordon, who asked that the girl should bo sent to Borstal for her own good. Sentence of two years' detention in a Borstal institution was imposed by Mr. F lv. Hunt, S.M., and Major Gordon then made an application for the suppression of accused's name. " The girl is a first offender and has never been in Court before," she said. " Tho girl has not been stealing." " I will do it this time, but I will not do it again," said the magistrate. "As long as thoy know their names will not he published these girls do not caro."
