PILLAGING OF CARGO
TWO MEN SENT TO GAOL (P.A.) DUNEDIN. August 19. Three wharf labourers, Edward James Duffy, aged 26, John Horne, aged 58, and William Clingan Fraser, were charged in the Magistrate’s Court, the former two with pillaging cargo and the third with receiving. The police said that pillaging on this particular, ship was heavy, claims submitted to the Union Company being £235. The cargo had been transhipped from an overseas steamer in Wellington, and Dunedin was the first port of call. Some of the goods had been pillaged on the voyage out, or at Wellington, but the cases had been renailed and repacked. Duffy was sentenced to four months’ and Horne to three months’ imprisonment, and Fraser was remanded for the Probation Officer’s report.
