BURGLARY AT MENINDIE.
(S. A. Register.} For the past thirty-seven year* the Hon. G. C. Walker, M.P., has resided at '• The Briars," Menlndle, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar; but on Saturday he and hia family had th ir confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the man-ion had been broken into on Friday night, and a quantity of valuab c | jewellery and a lanto sura on money stolen. A representative of tho Register called on Mr Walker, who showed him over the scene of the burglar'- operations, and said :— " Early thia rooming my housekeeper called mc, and asked if I had taken my watch down, as it waa not lit its usual place. The window of my dressingroom was open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy guineas had disappeared, also a Waterbury Watch which I keep to check the i other by. Four of my pins were also I gone, &C." Nothing cau show better the estimation in which the unpretentious reliable Waterbury is held by men of | means.
