BAD INFLUENCE
SENT TO MOUNT EDEN GAOL ESCAPEE FROM INSTITUTE (From Our Own Correspondent) TE AWAMUTU, Thursday. Barril Barnaby, an inmate of the Waikeria Borstal Institution, who escaped from the institution on the night of January 8, and was recaptured early on the following Saturday morning near Waimarino, was brought before Messrs. S. H. Bunkley and W. C. Savill, justices, at the Te Awamutu Court yesterday morning. Constable Boyle detailed the doings of the prisoner prior to his escape. While an inmate of the Borstal Institute at Invercargill he had made his escape, had stolen motor-cars, burglarised, and otherwise broken the law, the result being that he was sentenced to five years’ detention. The Waikeria authorities considered Barnaby a bad influence to the other inmates, and he (Constable Boyle) suggested that he be sent to a proper prison with hard labour. The Court considered that accused was a menace to the other Borstal inj mates and that the police should inj form the Minister of Justice of the tracts and the Court’s comments. The | sentence would be two years’ hard labour in Mount Eden Gaol.
