A postman placed his bag in the passage while he delivered letters in another part of the building, and on returning found that the bag, which contained about twenty packets of letters of about 100 each, was gone. It was recovered almost immediately in a lavatory on the same floor of the building, with four packets abstracted. The greater number have been recovered. There were about half-a-dozen registered letters in the bag.
