SOLICITOR “WANTED”
AN AUCKLAND SENSATION WARRANT ISSUED FOR ARREST Dominion Special Service. Auckland, November 20. A sensation was caused in the city this morning when it became known that a warrant had been signed at Auckland for the arrest of Hector Robert Malcolm, a solicitor, who has for some time past been practising locally with offices situated at the corner of High Street and Vulcan Lane. The warrant, it is understood, charges Malcolm with the theft of £7OO, and was applied for by an elderly widow, who, it is alleged, handed this sum to Malcolm in connection with a mortgage transaction on November 2.
Malcolm left Auckland as a passenger for Sydney by the Ulimaroa on Thursday last, November 15. In the Supreme Court to-day, on the application of the creditor, the Official Assignee (Mr. G. N. Morris) was appointed interim receiver in the estate pending the hearing of a summons for adjudication of Malcolm as a bankrupt. Subsequently the Official Assignee seized the books, papers and other contents of Malcolm’s office.
