CHILDREN’S OFFENCES
LARRIKINISM AT TIUNTLY
13 OFFENDERS DEALT WITH. A MAGISTRATE’S WARNING. "(By Telegraph.—Special to Times.) HUNTLY, Saturday. A sitting of the Welfare Court followed tho ordinary sitting of the S.M. Court, and the proceedings disclosed a steadily increasing larrikin element, which the Magistrate said would not be tolerated, . and after a serious heart-to-heart talk admonished no fewer than thirteen offenders and placed several under the supervision of the Welfare Officer. In one instance the defendant was lucky in not being charged with manslaughter,-and the offence (that of firing a loaded gun at a cyclist, who had received 22 pellets of shot as a result) was viewed as an exceptionally dangerous act, and was the cause of very emphatic denouncement from the Bench, and future cases would receive very little consideration from him after this final warning.
