BURGLARY AT MENINDIE.
(B. 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 thoir confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the mansion liad been broken into on Friday night, and a quantity of valuable jewellery and a large sum of money stolen. A representative of the Register called on Mr. Walker, who showed him over the aceno 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 my dressingroom was open, and nn examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy trnineas, had disappeared, also a Waterbury Watch which I keep to chock the other by. Four of my pins were also gone, Ao." Nothing can show better the estimation in which the unpretentious but reliable Waterbury is held by men of moans.
