Two Boys Abducted While Returning Home
Two boys aged twelve and ten were abducted on Tuesday evening on their way home from Wheatley to the residence of their guardian Rev Dinmisond of Newastle. They were lured into a covered buggy and driven northward, later placed in another buggy by a young man. Authorities fear they may be hidden temporarily in Canada or transported to Quebec or the U S to avoid the Court of Chancery. The note recalls past guardianship disputes involving Mr Keith’s children. The East Indian budget shows a deficit of eleven million pounds sterling.
