— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Christchurch, Saturday "So much of this is going on that urgent steps must be taken to stop it. The law provides for heavy punish- . ment, and it is up to the court to see that the law is obeyed," stated Mr. E. D. Mosley, S.M., in the Children's Court, when four secondary school boys, whose ages were between 15 to 17 years, were jointly charged with converting two motor-cars to their own use. One boy was discbarged as having been an unwilling party to the off ence. Another was placed under supervision of the Child Welfare Officer for one year and the remaining two for two years. The Magistrate said in the case of the two of the boys the control at their home was very slack, and the parents were partly to blame. The boys used the cars for trips to the seaside, often returning home at four and five a.m. despite the fact that they were preparing for the matriculation examination.
