Steven Francis Llewellyn. Neary, aged 41. was sent to gaol for a month. According to the police Neary was released from Paparua Prison on Saturday and arrived at Lyttelton in a drunken condition. He was sent away from the inter-island steamer wharf on account of his condition and made his way to the Sailors’ Home, where he had previously stayed. He was unlucky, however, for the Sailors’ Home is now a naval and police barracks. Although evicted once, he went back and stole a pair of handcuffs from a constable’s bedroom.
