MAIL ROBBERY.
BAG FOUND IN HARBOUR. By Telegraph—Prets Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY. October 28. A mailbag, brought from New Zealand to Newcastle by the steamer Katoa, was found floating in Newcastle harbour. It was slashed open and, apparently, such letters as were worth while were purloined. The hag contained no registered matter, but many letters for Tasmania containing applications for Tattersall’s tickets, accompanied by postal notes. All letters left in the bag had been opened. An arrest has been made.
