CAUGHT RED-HANDED
[press association.]
BUNEDIN, Sept, 19. For broaching cargo, James Thompson and George Erdman were this morning sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The accused were employed on the steamer Hampton at the Dunedin wharf. During lunch-time the chief officer heard a noise like the breaking of timber in the hold, and on going there found the accused with a bill-hook. A search led to the discovery that several cases had been pillaged, and a quantity of boots secreted in another part of the hold.
