“A JEKYLL AND HYDE MIXTURE”
PROBATION TERMS BROKEN HE’S one of those Jekyil and Hyde mixtures, and alcohol is his greatest enemy. He has got a terrible lot to live down, but during the past two months he has shown a decided improvement.” The Rev Jasper Calder, city missioner, who made these remarks in the Police Court to-day, was referring to William Robert Curson, aged 25, who pleaded guilty to charges of drunkenness, breach of his prohibition order, and failure to comply with the terms of his release on probation. The probation officer, Mr. Campbell, said that Curson had been placed on probation by the Supreme Court last “He has a long list,” said Mr. Campbell, •’and I can say nothing in his favour.” Air Calder then spoke on Curson s behalf, and said that he had his good points. “Has he?” said the magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt. “Did you see the report about him taking a young girl from home?” ■■l admit he’s got a terrible lot to live down,” replied Mr. Calder. Curson was remanded to appear for sentence to-morrow.
