WHICH IS MORE VALUED?
ART GALLERY OR WASHHOUSB? Under the criminal law of New Ze& land, as it stands to-day, a suspect can bo charged before the courts with breaking and entering a dwellinghouse, a shop, an office, or a warehouse, or even a washhouse or other outbuilding within the enclosure of a dwellinghouse, but there i-s 110 similar protection for an art gallery. This was mentioned in the supremo Court yesterday by Mr. 11. H. Ostler, in connection with the Leader picture theft. He remarked that this appeared to be a dangerous state of the law which ought to ,bo amended. Thousands of pounds' worth of property was kept in picture galleries, and yet it was no crime to break and enter one of them, as the law stood at present.
