MORE PLUNDER.

Folk whose a^otto is "something for nothing" excopt - tucke ™ k of reaching for it are giving the P^ lee E ° me , e f meue - The moonlight "% olds.ups last week ,were bold attempt.* by Barretters to make themselves su.'-^nly affluent, but the plunderers did r'^t get away wiii a great amount, of boea. J- . Last night, however, a quiet thief,. , wl | h nothms melodramatic in his mcV° d . s > | n <j ered the tramv»-ay receiving depo, ' in pyarieystreet, situated not far from V he junction •with Thorndon-quay, and ft' 11 ™^,^' moved the day's takings, aabuta ut * i ' u > from the safe. . _, n The money was not missed ft, l °-£ v this morning. A clerk went to tfet sate to get some keys, and noticed th.3*\ ?£ c door was nob secured. A glance ins». d P revealed a blank where the copper at&£ silver of the car sitjters and "strappers had been reposing. The lock of tbe safe door had not been broken or otherwise subjected to any violence. .The thief had, apparently, entered the premises quietly, and the same gentle attention to business seems to have characterised all his work. Yesterday was the last day on which such a simple lifting of valuables was possible, for to-day the substantial new building, commanding the area fronting the Lambton Railway Station, is to begin its career as the pay-in depot. The temporary offices are in a wooden building once used as a private dwellingplace.
