BURGLARY AT MENINDIE.
I (S.A. Register.) For the past thirty-seven years the Hon. G. C. Walter, M.P., has resided at "Ihe Briars," Menindie, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar ; but on Saturday he and bis family had 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 stolen. A representative of the Eeeiater oalled on Mr. Walker, who showed nim over the scene of the burglar 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 mydreßßingroom waa open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy guineas, had disappeared, also a Waterbury Watch whioh I keep to check the other bjr. Four of my pins wore also gone, &c. Nothing can show better the estimation in which flic unpretentious bnt reliable Waterbury ia held by men of means.
