Patea Mail, Volume VIII, Issue 982, 10 January 1883, Page 3

The San Francisco mail was delivered in Patea tin’s afternoon. Mr Comstock, the Secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, declares that the increase of youthful criminals in that city is alarming. He says :—“ A short time ago I sat in a court-room and saw three burglars, each about 13 years old. I have kept in my office since February Ist a scrap hook, which contains only newspaper clippings concerning the arrests of children. Between February Ist and August 15th I had a record of 457 criminals under 21 years of ego ; 50 per cent, of them were under 16. Fifteen had been arrested for murder, 38 for grand larcenj’, 42 for highway robbery, 99 for potty larceny, 100 as burglars, 40 as common drunkards, and the rest for minor offences. In the maj.ority of cases bad literature had started these criminals, helped along by drink.” Another of those rare birds, white sparrows was seen, and nearly caught by a gentleman in Lower Eangitikci on Saturday. This makes the third white sparrow seen in this district within the past six months.
