ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT.
AN ISLAND CASE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. On the arrival of the Zealandia at Auckland this morning from Vancouver, via the Islands, a first-class passenger, named William Greenland, was arrested on a charge of having stolen £3O of the moneys of the Fiji Fruit Company at Suva, of which he was secretary. He was brought before the Police Court and remanded for a week pending the arrival of papers and an -escort from Fiji to take him back to Suva to meet this charge. Greenland was accompanied on the boat by his wife, they having booked to Sydney. Mr. W. Hackett appeared for the accused and applied for bail. He stated that Greenland and his wife were on their way to Sydney for a holiday and had had every intention of returning thereafter to Suva. Counsel added that the matters which formed the subject of the charge would probably be explained meantime by wireless, enabling the charge to be withdrawn. Bail was granted and was fixed at one surety of £2OO. in addition to accused's own 1 " bond for that amount.
