BURGLARY AT MENINDIE. (S. A . Register.)

For the past thirty-seven years the Hon. ; G. C. Walker, M.P., has resided at "The j Briars," Monindie, in fancied seourity from ' the enterprising burglar; but on Saturday • he and his family had their confidence rudely ! disturbed by discovering that the mansion > had boen broken into on Friday night, and a > qunntity of valuable jewellery and a large 9 sum of money ctolen. A representative of 9 the Register called on Mr. Walker, who - showed him over the scene of the burglar's operations, and said : — " Early this morning > my housekeeper called me, and asked if I i had taken my watch down, as it was not in > its usual place. The window of my dreasingi room was open, and on examination I dis- ■ oovered that a gold watch, worth seventy " (ruineas, had disappeared, also a Waterbury i Watch whioh I keep to check the other by. Four of my pins were also gone, Ao." ; Nothing can show better the estimation in : which the unpretentious but reliable Water- . bury is held by men of means.
