ON PROBATION
NECESSITY FOE. DEPORTING. MAGISTRATE'S WARNING. “It is absolutely necessary that a man convicted of a crime ‘and admitted to probation should report to the probation officer right from the very start,” declared the probation officer, Mr Mills, referring, at the Magistrate’s Court, yesterday, to a young man, James Patrick Murray, aged 39. who pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to comply with the terms with which he was admitted to probation. The probation officer declared that no consideration should be shown. Mr W. Perry, on behalf of accused, explained that the case was not as bad as it had been painted. The man had done his beet, although it had boon “a bad best.” The magistrate, Mr E. Page, S.M., intimated that the accused had had his ohanoe, but had failed to take it. It was absolutely essential that an offender admitted to probation should comply with the terms of his release, and in view of this fact a sentence of three months’ imprisonment was imposed.
