Horse Stealing
♦ William Thomas, described as a youth 18 years of age, was brought up at Hawera on Tuesday last, charged with stealing two horses from Mr Morphy, livery stable keeper, Feilding. Thomas was remandeJ to Feilding to the 12th mst. Gage, the other yoang man charged with complicity in the same offence, was brought up at New Plymouth on Tuesday and also remanded to the same date and place. It appears that Thomas and Gage hired two horses from Mr Morphy, and sold one of them at Manutahi to Mr P. Frost, and exchanged the other one with Mr F. Gay, at Hawera. Gage rode away to New Plymouth with the horse he got from Mr Gay, and was arrested there while endeavouring to dispose of it. Thomas only arrived in the colony quite recently, as a stowaway on the lonic. There is a further charge against both men of hiring two other horses from Mr Somerville, ot Wellington, which they rode to Manawatu district, and then sold. Both prisoners will be brought up at Feilding on tbe 12th, on a charge of larceny as a bailee. — Chronicle. _____^_^^^^__
