On two charges of theft of money, totalling 15s, Edwin Victor Culliford, a labourer, aged 20, was admitted to the Borstal Institute for a period of 12 months. Detective-Sergeant Tricklebartk said the accused stole tho money from a drawer in a house where he was staying. Mr, T. P. Mills, probation officer, said that the accused was at present' on probation 'on a charge of theft. His conduct was fair, but ho had not been doing much work, and Mr. Mills suggested ho was more a subject for the Borstal Institute than anything else. Mr. 'M'Neil said that the accused apparently needed something more than probation, and he would adopt Mr. Mills's suggestion.
