“IMPUDENT THEFT”
TIE-PIN STEALER FINED
“I suppose this’ll do here,” said Thomas James Hickey, aged 51, looking round the Police Court room this morning, when given the choice of being tried by the Supreme Court. His manner indicated that it was a matter of little moment to him where he was dealt with.
Chief-Detective Cummings then explained tile reason for Hickey's appearance in the dock. A man named William North, the owner of a gold tie-pin, met Hickey in a hotel bar ten days ago. Hickey admired the ornament. took it out to examine it, and seemingly returned it to its proper place. A short time later North, found his tie was without a pin. “It. was an impudent theft,” said Mr. Cummings. A £ 4 fine or ten days in gaol was the penalty imposed on the light-fin-gered one.
