Thames Advertiser, Volume XII, Issue 3253, 26 February 1879, Page 3

The Geelong Advertiser makes the following statement:—' The man Weiberg, who is accused of having stolen the 5000 sovereigns from on board the mail steamer ' Avoca/ was betrayed, on the occasion of his arrest, by a friend to whom he.had imparted the information that he had committed the robbery. Weiberg's friend desired to get money, and worked on the knowledge of the sovereigns being in the culprit's possession. Some time before Weiberg was arrested a message was carried to him by a young man who formerly resided in this district, and who is now located in Qlpps Land, that if he did not give somo of the sovereigns to his friend the police would be communicated with. This threat was carried out, and resulted in Weiberg's arrest, so that the detective police can scarcely lay claim to much honour in the capture. It appears that Weiberg has frequently presented his friends with valuable articles said to have been picked up on board the mail ateamers. Passengers who have ever missed any valuables might have some recollection of their osses, and imagine how they occurred.
