CONVERSION OF CAR.
HEAVY FINE IMPOSED. AUCKLAND, February 4. Stating that he was reluctant to send a boy of 18 years to prison, Mr W. R. M‘Kean. S.M., imposed a fine of £2O on Frederick George- Parkinson this afternoon. Parkinson pleaded guilty to a charge of having converted to his own use a motor car valued at £4BO, the property of G. K. Mathieson. The offence was a fairly common one, and there must be some penalty, said his Worship, who thought a monetary penalty spread over a period would serve to impress the guilt on the young man’s mind. In addition to the fine Parkinson was ordered to make restitution of £4l 15s in respect of the damage, at the rate of 20s per week. If this is not paid Parkinson will go to gaol for two months.
