RAILWAY INCIDENT.
BOTTLE THROWN AT ENGINE.
TWO BOYS ARRESTED. In connection with the incident which occurred on the evening of April 5, when two youths standing on the side of the railway track near the Terrace End station Palmerston North, hurled a bottle containing some fluid at the engine driver of the incoming train from Napier, missing his head by inches, a lfi-year-old boy, whose name was ordered to be suppressed, appeared before Mr. J. L. Stout, S.AL, in the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court yesterday charged with the action named. His Worship stated that, as the boy was not under 16, he had no jurisdiction to deal with the case, which would have to go to the Supreme Court after the depositions had been taken in the ordinary way. The boy would be remanded, in accordance with the police wishes, until May 20. On the application of Mr. Cooper who appeared for the boy’s mother, bail was granted in the sum of £25, with one surety. In connection with the affair, another boy was arrested by the police, his age being given as 15J years. Publication of cases heard in the Children’s Court is forbidden under the Act.
