CAR CONVERSION CHARGE

MASTERTON YOUTH CONVICTED. ADMITTED TO PROBATION. On a car conversion charge, Mostyn William Clarke, aged 19 years, of Masterton, was admitted to probation for two years and was ordered to pay £9 6s 2d for repairs to the car and 10s court costs, when he appeared on remand before Messrs W. G. Lamb and L. J. Taylor, J’s.P,, in the Magistrate’s Court this morning. Mr J. Macfarlane Laing who appeared for Clarke entered a plea of guilty. Senior-Sergeant G. A. Doggett said that a car owned by Mrs Clayton, Te Ore Ore, had been removed from a car shed near her home on December 5. The car was later recovered damaged on the Rimutaka Hill Road. Mr Laing said that Clarke, who would enter Territorial camp tomorrow, had had a final fling at Taueru With other companions. The fact, he said, that the Claytons were personal friends of Clarke and the fact that Clarke intended returning the car removed the case from that of the usual car conversion type. Clarke was alone and did not have any special reason for taking the car to Upper Hutt.

Mr Lamb said that although Clarke’S counsel had pleaded well the Bench looked on car conversion as a very serious offence and would convict and admit Clarke to probation for . two years. '
