YOUTH’S BAD RECORD
FOUR YEARS IN GAOL REMANDED FOR SENTENCE When Frederick John Taylor, now 23, was only 12, he was sent to Weraroa for a term for theft. He was not out very long before he was sent back again. He also did a term at the Borstal. Then in 1921, while yet in his ’teens, the Supreme Court gave him four years’ reformative detention, for four charges of forgery. This morning he appeared in the Police Court charged with stealing a gold watch, a pouch and a belt, valued in all at £5 3s, from a friend at the boarding house where he lived. He had taken the articles to a dealer and sold them, it was said.
Senior-Detective Hammond asked foa a week’s remand to see what could be done with the young man, who will accordingly appear for sentence on May 13.
