No precise date was known' for the perpetration of the theft, bu) | it was indicated that by a process of attrition the qufes in which thean goods were kupt were emptied of tholr contenta, Gold dollars were converted into local money and pleces of jewellery found their way. into divers pawnshops.

Five boya, all related in some way or other, were implicated. One had left for Manila before the in- vestigations, started, and although the other four were arrested, evidence could be found to convict only two, and these appeared be fore the Magistrate.

Sergeant William Meadows gave the facts of the case. The partnera were asked if they had a good word to pubin for, the unfortunates. One replied that it would have been much the better if all the property could he recovered and turned over to them. The other said that thei boys deserved a good lesson-it would make them better characters, and he wished to know if the re- mainder of the property, other than that left in the pawnbroker's hands, could be recovered'us well.
