THIEVES IN HIGH CIRCLES.
ROBBING A BANK.
By telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Hobart, Mar. 6. Deeming and Brownrigg were committed to trial for stealing 45488 from the Bank of Australasia. Brownrigg, who was manager of the bank, made a statement that he and Leeming speculated in shares and lost considerably. Leeming, who was postmaster, was short of cash on Government account. He advanced him money, and both being involved, they arranged to rob the bank and get enough to make a fresh start. He only received about 420 from Leeming, who wanted half to take to his wife and family. Leeming confirmed the story, and produced a statement showing how the money was used to square his accounts.
