It is alleged that, notwithstanding that numbers of people were passing, a man named Patrick Andorson deliberately took up a piece of road metal and threw it through tho plato glass windows, and then dexterously hooked out i valuablo silver cup worth about £-2 -is. This he slipped under hia coat and made off down tbe street as quickly as piis-ible. Two postmen who saw the act gave information to Constable Cotter, who succeeded in arresting the man, and recoveiing the property in his possession. .Strange to say, the stone passed right through the window and lodged in another cup. Anderson appeared at tbe Police Court this morning beforo Messrs Whitcombe and Ewington, Justices, charged with the offence, when on tbo application of the polieo the prisoner was romanded until next Thursday.
