LAK€ENY. Not many months since, the Chnstphurch R. M. sentenced a prisoner to a term of imprisonment for stealing, a, Waterbury. Wiatch, value 13s 6d, and very good.value,too. Whether the theft wae committed from a pure and, praiseworthy craving fbr the correct time, or whether under the 'impression that, the Waterbury was built tip of gold, silver, or precious stones, deponent knoweth not; but one thing is quite certain, that this watph ,is a timekeeper oif the most reliable type, and one that is seldom stolen, because it is nob convertible in the melting 'pot. People with stealing propensities should bear this in mind, arid when planning the annexation of a " ticker " lay for one that is prized for its. pretension instead., of,its utility, because iijs owner will soon be reconciled to the loss when, he discovers how much more useful is the cheap but ■faithful Waterbury, which he can get without resorting to the time-payment System. Price, 13s 6d; by post, 14s 3d.
