INVERCARGILL, May 30.
A youtli of 18 years, whose name was suppressed appeared for sentence in the Police Court, he having previously pleaded guilty to several charges of converting motor cars to his own use, during May Fair Week.
“The lad is young,” said the Magistrate, “and I think not very intelligent. His previous character and habits as indicated by testimonials, lead mo to think that what he has done rather in the nature of a foolish escapade than confirmed dishonesty. I shall accede to the appeal for probation. He will be admitted' to probation for the full term of three years, and he will have to pay £22 8s Gd for damages to the c.ars and the bridge and also expenses at the rate of 10s per week.
