THEFTS FROM A CHURCH.
COATS AND HATS TAKEN. Speaking at the annual meeting of St. Mark's parishioners in Wellinuton, the acting-vicar, Rev. A. T. B. Tags, said that he had an unpleasant matter to mention—that of the theft of articles from the church porch. From what was said it appears that pilfering has been going on for some time, and that occasionally the porch has been watched by the police. A letter from a parishioner stilted that 011 a recent Sunday his son left his hat, which cost £5, in the porch and it was stolen. An incident was mentioned of a man who by saving for some time obtained enough to buy an overcoat- On hi 3 first Sunday at church the expensive garment was taken. The acting-vicar said the matter was a very serious one, arid something to stop the pilfering would have to bo done. Some time ago the boxes-had been broken open, and he had not had them mended because they were standing witnesses of this wickedness.
