UNSTAMPED DOCUMENTS
CLERK CHARGED WITH THEFT
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day
Eichard James Lanigan was committed lor sentence on charges of stealing £286 10s, between November, 1926 and 1929. He was a clerk in the Auckland Lands and Survey Office, having joined it in September, 1920. He admitted failure to stamp four hundred documents. Forty of them required a £2 stamp, and the rest about 10s each. The Magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, said he would see that the documents were handed back to the department for registration. While the accused had made the disclosures himself in the first instance, a departmental accountant said it would not be true to contend that Lanigan had not hidden the documents. Bail was allowed.
