EIGHTY POUNDS STOLEN.
(ttY TELEGRAPH.—PEESS ASSOCIATION.)
Wellington, this day. • Petone Railway Station was broken into on Saturday night and a safe containing about eighty pounds removed. The burglars also broke into a blacksmith's shop arid obtained a sledge hammer, etc., which was used in breaking open the safe. The safe, which weighed three cwt, appears to have been placed on a hand truck procured by the burglars at the railway yard and taken to a vacant section along the beach, where it was opened and tho contents appropriated. The empty safe and sledge hammer were found in a clump of gorse bushes and gave the first intimation of the burglary.
