STOLEN CUPS.
FOUND IN COAL BUNKER. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 13. When the Suffolk arrived at Auckland a fortnight ago it was found that cargo pillagers had been at work, and two gold and three silver cups, worth £3OO. were missing. They were intended for trophies at the Exhibition. Search was made without success, but it was renewed on the vessel’s arrival here, as it was suspected they might be concealed in the bunkers. After removing many tons of coal, the cups were found in a linen bag, the only damage was a slight dent in one. which can be easily removed. No arrest has been made, but it is believed the theft occurred before the steamer reached Auckland.
