MONEY IN OLD CLOTHES.
PROPERTY OF DEAD SOLDIER. LANDLADY'S DISCOVERY. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) DUNEDIN, Thursday. The amount of £400, of which £100 was in banknotes, was found in some old clothes belonging to a returned soldier who died recently. The man had no near relatives in Dunedin, and he apparently had no property. Permission was given his landlady to burn his old clothes, and it was while she was going through the clothes that she found the money. The woman at once took the money to the secretary of the Dunedin R.S.A., Mr. J. M. White, who handed it to the Public Trustee.
