SEVEN BOYS BIRCHED
Seven boys were each sentenced to six strokes of the birch at Windsor, Berkshire, recently for breaking into a furniture warehouse, stealing goods worth £3O, and doing £4O worth of damage. The boys smashed their way into the warehouse with axes, jumped on pictures and poured pots of paint on others. They lit a fire in the centre of a valuable mahogany table, used top hats stored for the holidays by Eton boys as targets foT daggers, and smashed much furniture.
