The gift auction in aid of the funds of the Auckland Poultry Association, which was to have taken place to-day at the City Market, was postponed, owing to the in ability of several of those who had intended to send donations from the country to do so in time. This Society, which has clone more towards improving the numerous breeds of poultryin Auckland than is known, has, since its formation some five years, not received that amount of public support which its object deserves, and consequently its finances are nob as flourishing as might be expected. To reduce their liabilities (which have been added to considerably through the pluckiness of the committee in importing the handsome, pens which were used at the late show) several friends have presented birds of prize stock to be disposed' of at auction and Mr Aitken, of the City Market, has given his services gratuitously as auc tioneer. By advertisement it will be seen that the gift auction will now take place at 2 o'clock on Friday nent the 21st instant when we hope the funds of the Society will be materially augmented.

To-day Mr Gabriel Lewis held an import ant sale of freehold and leasehold property at his mart. There was a large attendance, but bidding tvm slow at the commencement of the sale. The freehold at Parnell sold for £1705, and the store in Fort-streeb, leasehold, sold for £2,950.

James Stanton, under examination by the Official Assignee to-day stated that he was a carpenter and had worked fortheAuckland Corporation for 18 years. He left that ser vice 12 months ago to starfa a boarding-house. Having ilo money, he had to'borrow £50 in pi'der to purchase the lease of Alten House, Alten Road, and buy furniture, giving biUs of sale over all he had. He paid tliese off two months ago. Shortly afterwards, he borrowed £19 from the same party, giving £9 for the accom mddatiori, and agreeing to pay the £19 off by £7 per month. He had only paid £7, and the bill of sale holder now claimed £21. His_ busi riess did nofc succeed, and neither did that of'undertaker, which he also tried. Hd was obliged to file in order to escape going to gaol. His debts amount to £107 6s 2d, and fiohad not the , slightest .prospect", of satis fying his creditors.

SHOP-LIFTING.

WHAT THE DRAPERS SAY.

"WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH

WE LOSE."

Shop-lifting appears to be coming into fashion again. A few days ago a woman, neatly dressed and very respect ably connected, was before the Court fo r stealing four pairs of socks from Mr J. M- McLachlan's shop door, and ivas fined in «a small amount, owing to the kindness of Mr McLachlan in not pressing the charge. To-day another case was dealt with at the Court by Colonel Haultain and Mr J. Wilding, Justices of the Peace. An Old Gaol Bird.

William Wilkins, who has spent many years of his life in gaol was charged with having feloniously stolen a pair .of trousers and vest valued at 325, the property of W. R. Bridgman, draper, of Upper Queen street. It appeared in evidence that Mr Alfred Bridgman missed the articles named yesterday, the trousers and vest being part of a suit hung outside of the shop door. The police were informed of the theft, and the goods were traced to a pawnbroker bearing the name of "John Bunyan." Bunyan stated that he had lost 7s on them, but gave a meagre description of the person who pawned the articles. The latter was however cleverly traced, although he had given Bunyan his name as " Scott." The Bench having heard the evidence, and prisoner having made the orthodox plea that "he pawned the clothes for a friend," his previous record was read over. This was evidently much "agin him" and he was ordered six months' imprisonment. Colonel Haultain drew attention to the carelessness of the pawn broker in this case, and said that he should have known that a person of the prisoner's character and appearance could not have como by the clothes honestly. Sergeant Pratt asked if Mr Bunyan should be refunded the 7s he had lent on the clothes, and the Bench replied in the negative, whereupon the pawnbroker looked rather surprised and disappointed. Exposing Goods for Sale.

After the Court was over one of our re' presentatives interviewed Mr Bridgman and asked if he lost much by shop-lifting. Mr Bridgman replied : " I do not think we lose a great deal. I'll tell you what I wish that the City Council would pass a by law prohibiting shopkeepers from exposing goods outside of their places of business. Of course all must be treated alike. I have to put my goocls outside because others do so, but I should bo quite willing to ceaso doing so if tho movement was generally adopted." Reporter: You have not lost much by theft?

Mr Bridgman : Well, we are pretty care ful. There was one instance previous to the case brought before the Court. A fel low picked up a jacket inside of tho shop and was walking off with it, but I got hold of him and took it from him.

Mr RlcLarJilan's Experience

Mr J. M. McLachlan of Queen-street was also interviewed. He said he did not know how much drapers lost by shop lifting, but it was a great deal. He eaid, "There's one thing 1 would like to say about this, and it is that remarks fre quently made by the Bench and tho press give direct encouragement to people to steal. It has been stated that 'drapers deserve to lose their goods when they ex pose them outside of their shops for putting temptation in people's way.' I think that is most unjust, and is likely to bo taken advantage of." Reporter: Have you had any serious losses ?

Mr McLachlan : Well not much lately. There was of course the woman who stole the pocks. She was caught in the act of untying a bundle outside the door. On ono occasion I was serving a woman at tho counter, and after she had gone through a lot ofgoodslsawthesleeveofacoat.stickir.gfrom under her shawl, and made her give it up. Another woman was caught walking out of the shop with a new ulster, which she had picked up, thrown over her arm. Ono of the men noticed that the ticket had had not been removed, and drew attention to it. This attracted my attention and I stopped her just as sho was goinir outside of the door. That woman was discharged by the Court because sho was not outside of tho door.

Reporter : Are goods frequently stolen from the counter.

Mr McLachlan : Yes; much more so than from outside of the shop, and you can see how very easy it is for a customer to pick up an article when tho shopman's back is turned.

A Clover Move

Mr S. Coombes said that he had not much to complain of in this direction. " I always keep a boy outside of the door to keep watch on the goods exposed. There is one there now, and directly he is taken inside he will be replaced by another." Reporter : Have you not any knowledge of losses then ?

Mr Coombes : No ; we are pretty careful, and this is a very honest community con sidering: everything. In London customers are watched carefully as they handle goods, but we have not come to that here yet, bub I suppose we will in time. It is the easiest thing in the world for a customer to pick up small articles'when being served. Once I saw a gentleman pick up a 2s 6d bottle-of scent and put it into his pocket. I said nothing, but put it down on his bill and charged 2s Gd for it. He looked somewhat astonished, but he paid all the same, and it was lucky for him that he did." Many other instances are quoted by drapers and other tradesmen, and it is evi dent that shopkeepers require to exercise care to prevent considerable losses from shop-lifting. .
