SET FIRE TO COTTAGES
MISCHIEVOUS BOY THRASHING SUGGESTED Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, To-day. Three cottages of a total value of nearly £I,OOO were burned to the ground at South Brighton recently, and two scrub fires were started by the boy who recently set launches adrift at Brighton. He admitted, in the Children’s Court to-day, to having set fire to the cottages and the scrub. A thrashing was suggested by the magistrate, but finally, after a conference with the juvenile probation officer under whose care the boy was placed after the launch episode, lie was convicted and discharged.
