• (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 18. Can a person be charged. with stealing his own property? This question was raised in the Court to-day when Charles O'Loughlin was charged with stealing his own motor car from outside a garage, where it had been left for repairs. These had been effected, and owing to tho crowded state of the garage the car had been placed on the street. O'Loughlin came along and took the car away without paying for tho repairs. w Counsel for the defendant submitted that the garage man had no interest in the car though he had a claim for the amount of the repairs. The case was dismissed.
