FREE CURRENT
TAMPERING WITH CONNECTIONS. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 12. A woman was fined £3 at the Magistrate’s Court to-day for tampering with electric lighting connections in her house. Previously current was supplied on a contract basis, no meter being used. When the meter was installed the woman made a connection with the wires outside and thus secured a large portion of the current for lighting without payment. The Magistrate said the defendant was lucky in not being charged with the more serious offence of theft.
