"AFTER THE BALL"
WHEN HATS ARE MISSING. ‘OFFENCE BECOMING FREQUENT.” “This is quite a common offence,’' declared Chief-Detective Kemp at the Magistrate’s Court yesterday, when Albert Francis Kennedy was charged with the theft from a doorway of a hat valued at 355, the property of Jeremiah James Foley. The offence, said the chief-detective, was becoming frequent of late. Hate and other articles were being stolen from hotels, boardinghouses, while many hats were taken from churches. This class of theft was in fact becoming quite prevalent. In this particular case. Kennedy had been to a dance at a hall in Abel-Smith street, the theft having taken place in the porch. In view of the desirability of making further inquiries, an adjournment until Friday was granted, hail being allowed in the sum of £25.
