CARGO PILLAGING.
WELLINGTON, August 2. A Wellington hardware firm received a consignment of sporting guns from England in the Port Curtis, which loaded only at Hull and London. On opening the case the firm found 12 out of the 17 guns gone, granite seta (used for roadmaking) being substituted. The guns were made in Belgium, and the pillaging evidently was done at Antwerp wharf. The case showed no sign of having been tampered with.
