HOTEL BROKEN INTO
CASH REGISTERS ROBBED , AN ARREST MADE LATER [BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT] WAIHI, Sunday The Commercial Hotel, Lower Seddon Street, was broken into at an early hour yesterday morning and the cash registers in the public and private bars were ransacked. They had contained £lB or £2O in small notes and cash. Entrance was made by breaking a pane of glass in a window of the public bar and turning the latch. All that could be taken was taken from the register in the private bar. The cash register in the public bar was not so easy a proposition, and it was removed to the backyard of the hotel, where it was prised open. Later Walter Leonard Cooper, aged 31, was charged before Mr. J. Whitehead, J.P., with breaking and entering the premises by night and stealing £ll in money, the property of Harold Victor Gibson. Accused was remanded until September 11, bail being allowed in his own recognisance of £IOO and one surety of £IOO.
