HUTT MAN’S EXPERIENCE.

East Friday week, Mr William Hall, a carpenter employed at the Meat Export Company, and a resident of -Epuni Hamlet, drew his wages from the company’s office, Hunter Street. Hurrying to catch his train, as it was rapidly getting dark, he noticed two welldressed men approaching. One of them, waving a hankerchief lu his face, i‘ said, “ Hollo, Bill, where are you going to ?” He remembered no more until about 4 a.m. on Saturday morning, and then found that he was lying in a vacant section on Jervois Quay, surrounded by and covered with packing-cases. He discovered then that all bis money had teen Stiff in every limb, tor the night had been frosty, he walked as best he could to Lower Hutt, obtained a’ bicycle, and reached’ home at about 7-3 0 * Mrs Hall, being worried at her husband’s non-appearance, and being unable to sleep, to Lower Hutt at midnight, but could gather no tidings of her husband, beyond the fact that his bicycle was at the Hutt. Medical aid was sought for Mr Hall, but it was nearly, a week before he re- ’ covered.' —Dominion I '. :
