LOOTING THE BOERS HOUSES.
The following extract from a letter received from a member of the New Zealand contingent shows that Lord Roberts's order that looting should cease came not a moment too soon: — 'Any houses we have looted have be u n splendidly furnished. I got a silver watcli and gold chain, and a large bundle of love-letters in a house last Sunday, and a lOgal jar of tig jam on Monday. The letters are most interesting. The girl appears to have been engaged to no less than three men.'
