A CHURCH BROKEN INTO.
[Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON, Jan. 15. The Baptist Church, in Vivian Street, was yesterday broken into, evidently by mischievous boys. In the class-rooms mon-ey-boxes and cupboards were opened, and the contents scattered about. Damage was also done to the harmonium and pictures, and to the sacramental-cups and books in the body of the church. To-day three boys, Charles and Edward Hanghey, 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, when the boys Haughey were discharged, on the understanding that they would be kept under control, and Burke was remanded, practically on probation.
