Description
CLAGETT, Associate Judge. Respondent, who was 17 years old at the time of the alleged offense, was adjudicated guilty by a jury in Juvenile Court of taking property without right 1 and committed to the National Training School for Boys until he becomes 21. This appeal challenges his adjudication. At the trial respondent was represented by one counsel who filed this appeal and made some 22 assignments of error, but such counsel has since died and respondent's present counsel, while formally repeating the previous assignments of error, has urged only a few of them on brief and oral argument. Nevertheless, since respondent is a juvenile, we have felt we should examine the record with particular care to satisfy ourselves that the proceedings were in all respects proper.
