A YOUTHFUL VAGABOND
HEAVY SENTENCE IMPOSED
WELLINGTON, Last Night
The Chief Justice, Sir Robert Stout, had something to say regarding the scheme of working in the Burnham Industrial School, when sentencing a prisoner at the Supreme Court to-day. Tne accused was a half-caste Maori, William Duncan, who had pleaded guilty to charges of theft at Waitara and forgery, breaking and entering at Ei—am. The prisoner is only 21 years old, but had been in Court before, having been sentenced to two years imprisonment on a charge of carnal knowledge in 1908, and later to three months for theft. On the tneft charges, His Honor sentenced prisoner to two voars imprisonment, for breaking and entering lie imposed a. term of twelve months with hard labour, and for forgery one year. Terms were, made concurrent, and prisoner was declared an habitual criminal. "It is a sad thing to see such a number of Burnham boys coming before me," observed HiiS Honor. "I don't understand how it is, but 1 suppose it i?, because such a number of bad boys go to the scliool." Whether some other means of attempting to reform such boys, something like the George Junior Republic in America should be adopted, he did not know. Prisoner was only 21 years, but had embarked on a career of crime. "Burnham does not seem to have done any good," remarked His Honor. "If ever you want your liberty you will have to reform, 'mere is no outlook for you except that you behave yourself." '
