LETTERS OPENED
POSTAL EMPLOYEE SENT TO PRISON (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 16.

G. H. Sinclair, S.M., this morning. The Magistrate said it was not a, case of sudden temptation or an isolated offence, for the accused had opened a number of letters, conduct which tended to destroy public confidence in the postal Department. The offences must be regarded as somewhat serious.
