[By Electric Telegraph.]
Sydney, May 6. Opium has been seized during the past two days valued at ,£4BO.
Yesterday officers watching a Malay loitering on the wharf saw a hand containing a tin of opium thrust through an opening in the planks. An officer took the tin and the mysterious hand kept appearing till 42 tins had been handed up. The man under the wharf then became suspicious, jumped into the harbour, and escaped.
