LATER PARTICULARS. (PER TRESS ASSOCIATION.) Nkw Plymouth, July 21. The police have obtained evidence clearly connecting the prisoner, Robert Wnllath, with the person who appeared as highwayman on former occasions, also as being connected with several burglarie»j recently committed in New Plymouth. A singular part of the affair i'r that he was employed by Furlong, hairdresser, to secure the door of his shop by fixing a heavy iron bar inside. A few days afterwards Furlong's place was broken into by someone boring through the weatherboards and removing the iron bar. The polioe found some of the things stolen from Furlong's in prisoner's bedroom, thus indicating that prisoner was the man who committed the burglary. He was afterwards employed by Furlong to repair the damage, which the evidence now shows that he had himself committed. _________ m _^ m^
