SEIZURE OF GOLD
Charge Against Buyer TROUBLE OVER EXPORT By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, August 4. As a sequel to the seizure of over £lOOO worth of old gold, jewellery, and sovereigns in Sydney and the arrest there of a ship’s steward who, it is alleged, took the gold from Auckland to Sydney, George Washington, aged 36, a gold buyer, was to-day remanded on a charge of exporting 207 sovereigns and 210 half-sovereigns without the written consent of the Minister of Finance. Counsel said it would be admitted that accused exported the gold. There was no suggestion that it had been got dishonestly.
