YOUTH’S BAD BREAK
THREE OASES OF BURGLARY. PROBATION ON STRINGENT CONDITIONS. A somewhat distressing case came before Sir Robert Stout, Chief Justice, at the Supreme Court yesterday, when a well-set-up youth of 18 years was placed in the dock for' sentence on three charges of breaking and entering and theft. Mr O. O. Mazengarb asked that probation he extended the prisoner. Counsel said the lapse of the youth into crime was inexplicable. He had just left college, and was about to study raedicine or law. His family name was highly respected in many parts of the Dominion, and he had one brother a doctor, one a lawyer, and one a bank manager. The Chief Justice admitted the prisoner to probation for a period of two yearn on stringent conditions, and on the application of Mr Mazengarb publication of the name of the offender was pi ohibited.
