Evening Post 16 July 1888
On several occasions complaints have reached us of the larrikinism prevalent in the Taita district. Hitherto the energies of the mischievous Taita youths have been directed to the removal of gates, fencing, &c, and depositing the same on some neighbouring verandah or garden. Within the last few days, however, the larrikins have made a fresh start, and, not content with destroying gates, have covered the posts and palings with filth. We hope the local polioe authorities will succeed in making an example of some of the offenders.
