CARGO PILLAGING.
LOCAL DP.APERY FIRM'S # . DISCOVERT. A largo pillcjo was discovered, in the Christchurcfi railway ' sheds yesterday. A local drapery firm had occasion to stop a ca'so of hosiery, for examination, and upon' opening it, it was found that the .entire! contents (valued at £600) • had been removed., and the ca&o Jiiled .up with sacks of.eatth find bundles of wet p-aper. _ This case", was part of an American shipment, ex s.s. Maimoa. It'is largely a matter of 'conjecture where the pillage occurred, but the most feasible theory h that somb.cnrter in New York must have .taken a load away from the factory lato in the afternoon, and delivered it to the ship next morning,, helping himself in the meantime.
