No special votes stolen — P.O.
PA Auckland; Special votes cast in the General Election were not among mail stolen from 25 Post Office bags being transported from Auckland to Hamilton last week, according to a Post Office spokes-; man. The Auckland Chief Post- | master (Mr D. R. Froggatt) yesterday dismissed suggestions in a Sunday newspaper that special votes may have been stolen when the bags
l| which were on a Railways Road Services bus were tampered with. Postal officials had estab-, ilished that a number of; 'pieces of registered mail had > i been stolen, he said. It was not known whether ■ i envelopes containing special ■ votes were in any of the ..bags, but if they were they; H would have been in the 1 ■ bundles of letters. •i It seemed that letters in; >[the bags had not been ; touched.
