“The present tendency, if continued, of the legal representatives of budding criminals asking for the suppression of their clients’ najmes is perhaps almost as worthy of suppression as crime itself,” sayfs the Christchurch Star. “That the accused is only twenty yeahs of age, or has respectable parents, is no reason why publicity, the greatest of deterrents to offence against the moral standards of the public, should be withheld. As Mr McKean said in the Auckland Police Court, ‘before an order of suppression is made there must be sprue special circumstances made known to the Court,’ and these circumstances are rare rather than common. Just as the opinion of one’s friends .and tne fear of ridicule compel the average man to conform to the ordinary social conventions, so do tlie reports from the Courts strongly assist to keep the wayerer in the right path, and the publication of names should contiiriie.”
