A RACECOURSE THEFT.
By Telegraph—Press Association. TIMARU, January 18.
At the Magistrate's Court this morning, Joseph *6eburn, a racecourse habitue, pleaded guilty to a charge of theft of a bag containing £72 odd from the licensed booth at Pleasant Point races on 14ch January. The booth was in charge of the licensee's wife, who kept the cash in a bag alongside her in the back bar in the tent, which was open on two sides. Coburn went behind the bar on the excuse that he wanted to hang up his overcoat, and hooked the bag away with an umbrella. He was committed for sentence, bail in £2OO being allowed.
