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

For the past thirty-seven years tho Hon. G. C. Walker, M.P., has resided at " The Briars," Menindio, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar ; but on Saturday he and his family had their confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the mansion had boen brokon into on Friday night, and a quantity of valnable jewellery and a large sum of money stolen. A representative of the Register called on Mr. Walker, who showed him over the scene of the bnrglar's operations, and said :— " Early this morning my housekeeper called me, and asked if I had taken my watch down, as it was not in its usual place. The window of my dressingroom was open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy guineas, bad disappeared, also a Waterbury Watch whioh I keep to check tho other bjr. Four of my pins were also gone, Ac." Nothing oan show better the estimation in which the unpretentious but reliable Waterj bury is held by men of.moans.
