Laundries Practice Central to Auckland Court Case
In Auckland on June 6 evidence from the Supreme Court trial before Justice Denniston detailed thefts from the Glenalvon boardinghouse laundry. Mary Ann Glover faced charges of stealing linen valued at £18 between 1905 and 1907 with shortages often aided by the accused using surplus stock. The accused admitted some items were her own or not Scherff’s, describing an “over-count” system to cover gaps. She was acquitted. The report also notes the death of Dr W. D. Milne, Otago University graduate and solicitor.
