Tel. No. 21877.

The Hon. Mr. R. H. Kotewall said-Sir, beg to move the re- solution standing in my name;

"That in the opinion of this Council steps should be taken by the Government to institute

Juvenile Courts where offenders under the age of sixteen can be separately tried with a view to the early establishment of some training institutions where such offenders can be segregated after conviction." At a meeting of this Council held on the 19th, June last, I asked certain questions relative to this subject, and, the answers. given by the Government have re- vealed a state of affairs which

shows that in the matter of the treatment of juvenile offenders we are much behind the times. Ac carding to those answers, children under the age of sixteen, whilst being detained in custody await ing trial, are so detained with

adult offenders and, when brought before the Magistrate, are placed in the dock with adult offenders. The Honourable Colonial Secre tary qualified his answer to m questions on these two points with

the remark that "in cases where bail has been found the juveniles charged are not detained and when brought before the magis- trate, are not placed in the dock." Those familiar with the practice of our Police Courts know that this procedure applies not only to juvenile offenders but also to every adult defendant granted bail, even if he is charged with a serious offence.

My other questions have elleiten the fact that during 1929, 985 boys

and 137 girls, all under the age o sixteen, were brought before the magistrates; and that of these numbers 268 boys and 7 girls were charged with felonies. 377 bova and 73 girls with hawking, and 313 boys and 57 girls with other offences. Of these young person" charged. 131 boys and 5 girls were sent to prison; and 433 boys. of whom 26 were convicted at naw- king without u licence. ware erdered to be whipped.

These figures and the

particulars given by the Guvern

ment have revealed conditions that call for early remedy, and it is to be hoped that methods more In keeping with those in practice in England may be introduced into this Colony as soon as pos- sible.
