A. Wealthy Tailor.
Dunedin, Feb. 12
A fire at Wood’s tailor, Port Chalmers, was extinguished before doing much damage. He alleges that he lost £l3 in money.
Degreelsm Defended.
Mr Watt, R.M., made an explanation from the Bench to-day re Hogging and sentencing of boys for apple-stealing which had been severely commented on by the Press. He said the real punishment was the Hogging and it was necessary to avoid imprisonment in order that the boys should be Hogged in gaol. Committal to the Industrial School was no punishment at all, as, on showing good behaviour, the boys were immediately let out to their parents. By this means they could, to a great extent, prevent larrikinisn in Dunedin more easily than if allowed to get ahead. The sentences were only apparently severe, but practically they were only preventative.
