A boy. of twelve was
sent
to grows l
prison for a week at the Central Magistracy yesterday following his fourth conviction for stealing. He has apparently come to be regarded as an "old offender" and as a lad likely to spend the rest of his life alternately in and out of gaol. It is a tragic sort of attitude to adopt the attitude that makes habitual criminals out .of youngsters. Abandoned as incorrigible, at the age of twelve and so to gaol!
