Mr Frank Thompson, until recently Custodian of the Customs Department’s Buildings, Wellington, will commence his new duties to-morrow morning as Custodian of the Government Departmental Buildings in Christchurch, and Deputy-Inspector of the Passenger Service, Department of Internal Affairs. He will succeed Mr J. O’Brien who retired from the service to-day. A young domestic, Doris Rosena Dunne, aged seventeen years, was convicted and sentenced to be detained in the Borstal for a period not exceeding three years, when she appeared in the Magistrate’s Court this morning charged with being an idle and disorderly person. “ Everything possible has been done for you. You know that,” said Mr E. D. Mosley, S.M. Sergeant Hyland said that the girl came under the care of the State in February, 1929, for theft, and since then had committed another offence. Recently, she went to Akaroa, and on returning to Christchurch, failed to go to her parents. She was arrested last night at a house where she had taken a room. A married man also had a room at the house.
