(S.A. Register.) For the paat thirty-aeven yeara the Hon. G. C. Walker, M.P., baa resided at " The Briars," Menindio, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar ; but on Saturday ho and his family had their confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the mansion had been broken into on Friday night, and a qnantity of valuable jewellery and a large gum of money stolen. A representative of the Register called on Mr. Walker, who showod him over the aoene of the burglar's operations, and aaid :— " 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 diacovered that a gold watch, worth seventy aruineaa, had disappeared, also a Waterbury Watoh whioh I keep to check the other by. Pour of my pine were also gone, &o." Nothing oan show better the estimation in which the unpretentious but reliable Waterbury is held by men of means.
