BURGLARY AT MENINDIE.
(S.A. Register.) For the past thirty-seven years the Hon. G. C. Walker, M.P., haß resided at " Tho Briars," Menindie, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar ; but on Saturday he and his family hod their confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the mansion had been broken into on Friday night, and a quantity of valuable jewellery and alarge sum of money stolen. A representative of tbe Register called on Mr. Walkor, who showed him over tlio acen» of tho burglar's operations, and said :— " Early thia morning my housekeeper called me, and asked if I liad taken my watch down, as it was not in its usual place. The window of my dressingroom waa open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy cuinens, had disappeared, also a Waterbnry Watch vTiich I keep to chock the other bjr. Four of my pins wero also gone,_ &c. Nothing can show better the estimation in which the unpretentious but reliable Waterbury is held by men of means.
