ALLEGED THEFT OF OILS.
CHRISTCHURCH, March 27. During the stay of the steamer Tainui at Lyttelton a number of drums of oil disappeared. Yesterday the police visited the premises of Rudoe Anderson, a sailmaker and a, wellknown resident, but he denied all knowledge, and their search seemed hopeless until they discovered an aperture in the ceiling, inside which were eleven drums. The police subsequently arrested Robert Helmstalk and Thomas Jones on a charge of theft of the drums; and Anderson on a charge of receiving stolen property. Accused were remanded until Wednesdav.
