A SAD CASE.
There was some pathetic features connected with the case of a girl, 17 years of age, who, looking very contrite, came before Mr D. G. A. Cooper. S.M., at the Wellington Magistrate’s Court yesterday (says the Post), charged with being an idle and disorderly person. Inspector Hendrey explained that the girl had left her home in Foxton, and since she came to Wellington had been leading such a life that she should, for her own protection, be placed under control- The girl had stated that she wanted to lead a good life in future, and seemed quite sorry at what she had done in the past. He suggested that she be sent to gaol for a while until the legal formalities required to place her in an industrial school could be complied with. The Magistrate sentenced the girl to a month’s imprisonment, until the necessary warrant was obtained fiom His Excellency the Governor to enable her to be placed in a suitable institution, and ordered her to be kept apart from other prisoners. [We are informed that two Foxton girls left their respective parental roofs for Wellington recently. The above mentioned is one ot them.]
