A BAD LAD
THREE YEARS AT BORSTAL “He has not been satisfactory on probation,” the probation officer, Mr. Campbell, told the court this morning when James Lloyd Freebavin, a lad of 18, appeared for sentence on a charge of stealing a shirt and collar from a man who had befriended him, and a breach of the terms of his probation. “He has never remained in any position for more than a week. His father and mother can do nothing with him. He hasn’t reported regularly. In his own interests I think he should be sent to the Borstal for a term.” “Very well, two years,” said Mr. Hunt, S.M.
“His father thinks it should be three,” said Mr. Campbell—and three years it was.
