A BAD START
YOUTHS TURN ON FATHERS AUCKLAND, August 3. When the respective fathers of Richard de Thierry and Arthur David Ogle attempted to chastise them for their waywardness the sons turned round and thrashed their fathers. These facts were revealed by Air Justice Herdman in the Supreme Court to-day, when De Thierry appeared for sentence on six charges of breaking, entering, and theft, and Ogle on two similar charges. “You have both started off to make a failure of your lives,” said his Honor to the prisoners. “When your fathers attempted to chastise you it ended in you thrashing your fathers. Both cases are very bad.” The prisoners were sent to the Borstal Institute for three years.
