TERRITORIAL CAMP.

SUIIPLUS STORES ARRESTED. By Telegraph— Press Association. Auckland. April 12. ■When tho Territorials were leaving camp at Cambridge, a quantity of stores addressed to a resident of Paeroa were stopped by a member of the permanent staff, and formally arrested. The stores included ten eases of jam and seven boxes of biscuits, valued in all at £23 10s. The stores were in the first place secured by the brigade headquarters and supplied as required to the quartermasters of the separate units, and presumably when left over are returned to the brigade captain. Quartermaster Nathan, of the Sixth Hauraids, to whom the arrested stores were addressed, is to submit a full report to an inquiry to be held at Auckland. He informed a Press representative that he considered the stores arrested were the property of the Sixth Haurakis. As captain and quartermaster he took charge of the supplies and sent them to Paeroa. Lack of time was the reason for not addressing them to himself in his military capacity. During the camp there was a good deal of' grumblin<>among the Sixth Haurakis concerning food supplies, and complaints had led to imprisonment being made.
