YOUNG HOODLUM
ADMITTED TO PROBATION HOME BY EIGHT O’CLOCK (From Our Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, To-day. “I hesitate in admitting you to probation again, because you have had it before and broken it.” Thus spoke Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., this morning, when Clarence William Mitchell appealed before him for sentence on a charge of theft of gloves. His Worship observed that defendant’s record was not a good one. and since he had been released from Weraroa Training Farm he was reported to have developed into a hoodlum. One thing in his favour was that he had not been convicted of dishonesty before, and that saved him from going to the Borstal Institute. Mr. Wilson admitted defendant to probation with hesitation, and issued a warning that if the terms w T ere again broken defendant would be sent to the Borstal Institute. He was admitted to two years’ probation on the condition that he was not out after 8 p.m. without the written consent of the probation officer.
