The evidence for the police was that Bovaird left his house, which is situated in Nelson-street, at about 7.30 p.m. on the Ist inst. When he returned at about 11.30 p.m. he found that it had 'been broken into, entrance ha-ving been effected by the forcing up of a back i window. The premises had been ransacked, and the contents thrown "all over • the place. Witness identified a gold i watch and braid chain, two gold sleeve- ' links, and an American five-dollar gold • piece, which: had been recovered by the i police as property belonging to him, and i which he had left in the house.
