WIDE OPTIONS ON
PROBATION LAWS
Judges Given Extensive Lat
itude, Attorney General
Decides
Daily Dispatch Bureau.


Raleigh, Dec. 2.-Judges of North
Cardinals courts have wide latitude
in laying down the conditions upon
which defendants are placed on pro-
baton, according to a recent ruling
of the attorney general.
"The enumeration of the conditions
on which probation is granted is not
intended to be mandatory on the
court to the extent that all of these
conditions must prevail wrote Attor-
ney General A. A. F. Seawell to Lon
j. Moore, Judge of the recorders court
at New Bern.
''Any of these conditions, or all of
them, and others, too, may be put in
to the Judgment of the court, and in
deed, it has the power to grant pro-
baton upon any reasonable condi-
ton
The attorney general ruled, how
ever, that this wide discretion does
not extend to the power to repeal or
modify provisions Of the law regard
ing suspension or revocation of driv-
ers' licenses.
"The new probation act does not
repeal or modify the law regarding
ers' licenses. Revocation or suspen-
sion of a license is not part of the
punishment but a provision under the
police power of the State to secure
the safety of the public highways and
for that reason cannot be involved
in the judgment admitting to proba-
ton Similarly a pardon or parole
does not have the effect of altering
a suspension or revocation" Mr.. Sea-
we'll wrote Judge Moore.
With the probation law in effect
for a full month, there are now 1O3
persons on probation, according to
figures from the office of J. Harry
Sample state probation director. or
these 81 are men and six are women.
Half of the probationers are between
16 and % years old, forty per cent
between % and 80, twelve per cent
between 80 and 40 and only eight per-
cent above 40.
