MAORI YOUTH SENTENCED
JUDGE ON CIVILISATION NATIVE AND EUROPEAN MORALS We have to remember the Maori race was pitchforked into 19th century civilisation and it is a matter of wonder that the native people came through as they did.’' This remark was made by Mr. Justice Blair in the Supreme Court this morning when Rangi Tluka, aged 17, appeared for sentence on an indictment: of assault with intent to commit a serious offence at Te Puke. “One cannot apply the same standards to this youth as to one brought uq in strict moral conditions,*’ said his Honour. “The young man no doubt has -ood in him, and it seems I should do something to help him. It would be better for his own sake if he could nave some training-. He will be sentenced to three years’ detention with <ne recommendation that he should go to the Borstal Institute,” the Judge decided.
