REFORMATIVE DETENTION
ATTEMPT TO BREAK AfND ENTER.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night.
Having been found griilty of attempted breaking and entering, Harold John Windsor, aged 23, appeared before Mr. Justice Herdman in the Supremo Court to-day for sentence. He was ordered to bo detained for reformative purposes for a period not exceeding two years. His Honour told the prisoner that the jury had very properly found that he had been associated with his brother and another man in attempting to break and enter. Accused was in a curious position. Ho had other brothers in prison at the present time, a number of them, and a sister in a probation home. He himself had already been convicted of theft in Napier and had been detained in a Borstal institute. That did not seem to have done him any good and now he bad started again. W'hat would happen to him if he kept on in the same way his Honour did not know.
