AUCKLAND BURGLARIES.

ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. (PBESS ASSOCIATION TEIJKSEAM.) AUCKLAND, April '27.

Tho Police Court was occupied with the hearing of charges of burglary against Daniel'Flynn, also known as "Mike" Flynn, and Eobert Heaton Munro. The charges against both conjointly involved goods valued at £1296, and against Munro of goods valuod at £386. Detective Barlmg, who arrested Munro at Frankton on April 6th, said that the assistance Munro gave the police resulted in the recovery of hundreds of pounds'worth of stolen goods. Munro stated that Flynn had been closely associated with him in the affairs on which were based the present charges. Flynn, in a police statement, detailed visits to various places with Munro, and said that he regretted having committed the offences, and was prepared to render all possible assistance in clearing matters up. In a statement to the police, Munro said that whereas Flynn alleged that ho (Munro) did the actual breaking and entering on his own, in some cases a man could get • into some of the places without outside help. "When Flynn first met me," said Munro, "he gained my confidence by the fact that he said he had burgled several places prior to my meeting him. Foolishly, I thought that he could not be caught by the police, and so consented to help iiim in other, burglaries." Mr Moody intimated that both accused would formally plead not guilty. They were committed to the Supreme Jourt for trial, bail being fixed at iSOO each.

A charge against Elsie Lovcgrove of .•cceiving stolen goods was adjourned *Vw a, week.
