BREAKING AND ENTERING.
YOUTH BEFORE COURT. COMMITTED TO SUPREME COURT. A youth/Lovell Williams, aged 17, appeared before Mr H. A. Young, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court, Hamilton, torday, charged with breaking and entering the Hamilton West school building with intent to commit a crime. Accused was represented by Mr Strang. A schoolmaster; Brown, stated that he was in one of the classrooms on the morning in question, attending to correspondence, when he heard a noise in the next room, and going in saw a boy whom he recognised as accused within the building. The window was open and there was a box on the ground below, indicating that the young fellow had chosen this means of entrance. When questioned the boy said that he was looking for his old master—a Mr Fenwick. Witness had only been at the school for about two weeks and did not know accused. There was nothing of any value in the building except a few old coats left by pupils. Accused pleaded not guilty, reserved his defence, and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial. Bail was allowed in one surety of £SO.
