Stole money $150 FINE from seminary

A 14-year-old boy went into a train- ing centre for Chinese Catholic priests in Aberdeen and stole a total of $685 and US$20 from desks belonging to the students, it was revealed in Central Court this morning.

The boy pleaded guilty to three charges of simple larceny and was sent to the Castle Peak Boys' Home by Mr D. Benson. Five additional charges were taken into consideration.
