BOURNEMOUTH ROVER.

LAD EXPECTED, YET TO MAKE GOOD.

London, September 14.-Known as the "Bournemouth Rover from the fact that he has run away from home 16 times, Beniah Norman, aged 11, pleaded guilty at Canter- bury to stealing a pair of trousers and a silk scarf from a concert party's messing-room at Whitstable.

Norman admitted to the police that he had been sleeping-out on Tonkerton Slopes since August Bank Holiday.

The court missionary told the magistrates that the trouble was that the boy could not get on with his step-mother.

It was decided to send. Norman to Kingsworth industrial school, and Supt. Ford said that, from what he had seen of him, he thought the boy would make good."
