PILLAGING OF CARGO
CIGARETTE PAPERS STOLEN.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Dunedin, Last Night
There are. indications that some persons have secured a big haul of a certain brand of cigarette papers without expenses. When a large ease was landed from the steamer City of Canton, which was discharging American cargo at the Rattray Street wharf to-day, it was found that fully half the contents was missing. The case, when shipped, was filled with boxes containing cigarette papers.
The general opinion is that the pillaging was carried out at some other port of call and no suspicion whatever is cast on the local waterside workers engaged in landing the City of Canton’s cargo. It is stated that the value of the pillaged papers is over £6O.
