Theft of Whiskey.

Twelve months’ reformative detention was the sentence passed by Mr Justice Callan yesterday on William Farmilo for the theft of 708 bottles of whiskey, valued at £575, when employed as a storeman by Hutchinson Brothers, Ltd. The judge said the matter seemed to have some connection with the pernicious sly-grog racket in evidence so much in the city. Prisoner and another seemed to have fallen out as rogues commonly did, and prisoner, who said he was to get £5OO, got only £2OO. Paganism Among the Nations. A lecture under the auspices of the Commonwealth Covenant Church was given on Wednesday night at the Orange Hall by Miss Waterston, dealing with the reorganisation of certain European nations and their persecution of the Jews. These signs, she said, were given by Jesus Christ of His near return and the setting up of His Kingdom. Miss Waterston’s next lectures Will be on Sunday night, when further lantern slides on the miracle of the New Palestine will be shown, and on Wednesday, when the subject will be “God’s 7,000 Year Plan for Man.”
