"FINDING—KEEPING."
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —On Thursday evening, the 10th inst., about eleven o'clock, I was escorting home my daughter and another lady from the Masonic Hall, Princes-street. Before reaching the Supreme Court our friend discovered that she had lost her cape—a black and white wrap made of grenadine, and valued at two pounds. By means of the telephone an advertisement appeared in the "Herald"' of Friday, describing the lost article and offering a reward. A like advertisement was inserted in the "Auckland Star" of Friday and Saturday. The cape has /not been returned. I may mention that on ascertaining the loss we at once retraced our steps—a distance of some five hundred yards— but could see nothing of the missing article. Aucklanders are great church-goers, to judge from the vast number of places of worship. ; It might be desirable were it explained to the congregations that to keep in one's possession a chattel which belongs to another is defined by law to be theft.—l am, etc., CITIZEN.
