JUVENILE BURGLARS.
SOUND THRASHING ORDERED. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Oct. 7. Two boys, the head of a juvenile burglars’ club, the members of which had admitted several robberies and the accumulation of a remarkable collection representing tools of the “profession,” appeared in the Police Court for sentence. Accused were 14 and 12| years of age respectively, and the sons of respectable parents. Their career of crime was attributed to the reading of much cheap, trashy literature. Mr. Wilson, S.M., said both boys must receive a good thrashing, and -he could not order it without recording a conviction, which he was reluctant to ’o. He wanted an assurance that the boys would get a thorough whipping by someone competent to do it. He adjourned the case for a fortnight on the suggestion that such punishment he inflicted by the parent in the presence of the probation officer.
