I (S A. Register.) for the past thirty-uevon years the Hon. G. C.Walker, M.P., has rosided at "The Briars," Menindie, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar j but on Saturday ho 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 a large sum of money Btolen. A representative of the Register called on Mr. Walker, who showed him over tho scene of the burglar's operations, and said :— " Karly this morning my housekeeper called me, and asked if I had taken my watch down, as it was not in its usual place. Tho window of my dressingroom was open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy gninoaß, had disappeared, also a Waterbury Watch whioh I keep to check the other by. Four of my pins were also gone, &c." Nothing can show bettor tho estimation in which the nnpretentious but reliable Waterbury is held by men of means.
