ROGUES AND VAGABONDS.
BURGLARS SENTENCED.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, last night. Thomas Ramsay and Edward Burrows were found guilty at the Supreme Court of being rogues and vagabonds. These are the men who were arrested in June last on a charge of dynamiting the safe at an hotel at Lyttelton. They were found to have a number of burglar’s tools in their possession, and a considerable sum of money. As sufficient evidence was not forthcoming, that charge was dropped, and the police proceeded on the charge of which the prisoners have now been convicted. The Chief Justice said he concurred in the verdict, ana would indict the maximum penalty of one year's imprisonment.
