SENT TO BORSTAL.
“ I Won’t Go,” cries Girl from Dock.
“ Don't send me to the Borstal, please. ... I won’t go. I will not
gp,” cried Peggy Morrison, a twenty-year-old domestic, stamping her foot in the dock at the Police Court this morning. She was-jointly charged with Molly M’Guire, a domestic, aged twenty-one, with being an idle and disorderly person. Morrison was sent to the Borstal institution for a period not exceeding twelve months, and M’Guire was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment with hard labour. The case was heard last week, when the prisoners were remanded for sentence. “ I have given a good deal of consideration to what to do to these girls,” said the Magistrate (Mr E. D. Mosley). “ It is impossible to send them to any institution that has no power of detention. They have already run away from two places where they were sent to try to get them to live decent lives.”
