Robbing a Church.
JUVENILE BURGLARS. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] Wellington, last night. The Baptist Church in Vivian Street was yesterday broken into, evidently by mischievous boy's. In the class rooms the money boxes and cupboards were opened, and the contents scattered about. Some damage was also done to the harmonium and pictures, and to the sacramental cups and the books in the body of the church. To-day three boys named Charles and Edward Haughey and Edward Burke were arrested and charged at the Magistrate’s Court with having committed the offence and with the theft of other articles. The same lads were before the Court for theft a few days ago. The boys Haughey were discharged, on the understanding that they would be kept under control. Burke was remanded, practically on probation.
