PENALTY FOR CRIME.
SENTENCES AT AUCKLAND. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. At the Supreme Court to-day William John Thomas Blackmore, for forgery and uttering at Whakatane, was put on probation for two years. A youth named Walter Leonard Cooper was found guilty on seven charges comprising breaking and entering and theft, and forgery and theft as a servant. He received three years’ reformative treatment.
Two Maori youths, Wharetohe Paterson and Panapa Rameka, for breaking and entering and theft, were placed on probation and ordered to pay for the articles.
Mr. Justice Herdman, explaining to the accused the meaning of probation, remarked that of late many young Maori boys had come before him on various criminal charges. He added: “Your ancestors were better men and never got into trouble. They were men of integrity and led good lives, so you Maori boys should keep out of trouble and strive to emulate them.”
