JUVENILE OFFENDERS.
CIRCULAR LETTER TO MAGISTRATES. WELLINGTON, January 26. A circular letter in regard to the method of dealing with juvenile offenders has been addressed by the Justice Department to the Stipendiary Magistrates of the colony, the object being to prevent association of youthful offenders with criminals. In this connection it is suggested that such offenders should be dealt with at special sittings, and that no child should remain in a gaol or lock-up, pending trial. It is thought that experience gained in this way will be of value in framing any legislation that may be required.
