TAKING OTHERS’ CARS
SIX CHARGES ADMITTED YOUTH INSTITUTE. As a sequel to the recent “joy riding” epidemic in the city, Edward Robert Martin Norman, aged 17, appeared for sentence before Mr W. G. Riddel!, S.M., yesterday morning on six charges of having converted to his own use motor-cars to the total value of £l6lO. “You have been before the court twice previously, and on one occasion you received probation,” remarked His Worship. “I am satisfied that the probation officer has found it impossible to recommend probation this time. 1 think that in your own. interests it will be necessary to place you in a Borstal institution, where you will ho placed under discipline for some time. When that term has expired, 1 think you will have more 6ense of responsibility. . . . If you don’t make a change, then I can’t say what will happen to you. Your time in the Borstal institution will be well spent.” His Worship committed the youth to a Borstal institute on the first charge. On the remaining charges Norman was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence when called upon within two years.
