A case of silk consigned to Messrs. Horden Bros., of Sydney, was placed in a steamer which recently left the United Kingdom. The goods were valued at about £5OO and the case containing them was lined with zinc, and was placed inside another slightly larger case. This was an entirely new plan of packing goods overseas, and it was done for experimental purposes to test its immunity from pillaging.
