It may be news of value to some parents that they are liable to a fine for permitting their children to play with an air gun or a catapult. A section of the Police Offences Act provides a penalty for any person under the age of 16 years, and there are penalties laid down for the person who sells or supplies a weapan capable of discharging a missile, which definition includes a stone, whether by gunpowder or not. This information is given at the suggestion of the police, for complaints have been made, and a reading of the Act shows clearly that the facts are as stated.
