OUT OF WORK.
AND WANTED MONET. YOUTH TURNS BURGLAR. Because he was out of employment, Harold Waterloo Pell, a youth of 17, conceived the idea of breaking into offices in the city in quest of money, according to j what he gave Detective Lambert in a ! statement which that officer read to the Magistrate at the Police Court this morning. He also told the detective that he did not take anything but money, and that he was not associated with any other person in his nocturnal expeditions. After evidence had been heard, Pell pleaded guilty to each of the charges, and \ was committed to the Supreme Court for I sentence. The charges were: Breaking \ and entering the counting-house of the Empire Costume Company and stealing £3 1/6; breaking and entering the count-ing-house of Berlei, Ltd. (N.Z.), with intent to commit a crime; the countinghouse of H. A. Moore, and stealing stamps valued at 5/; the counting- < house of Robert Malcolm, with intent to commit a crime; the office of Clench, ! Gibbons, and Co., and stealing 12/9 and ' several tins of cigarettes; and the shop of J. H. Rogers, and stealing 18/2 in money.
