NEWS FROM THE PORT.

Fruit Trees Damaged by Youths. One evening early this week a resident of Voelas Road, Lyttelton, found a number of youths whose ages ranged from sixteen to eighteen years inside a large frame which guarded two cherry trees. The cherries were green but that did not deter the youths from picking them and damaging the trees. A resident of Brittan Terrace had the same experience a few nights earlier, but in this case the intruders cut through the wire frames. A further case is reported of a strawberry patch being robbed while the owner was at church. St John Ambulance.
