BURGLARY IN AUCKLAND.
BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, March 13. Between the closing hour last night and seven o'clock this morning, Trenwith Bros.' boot and shoe factory, and R. Walton and Co.'s "Lion" boot fac- • tory in Wakefield street were burglariously entered. In both premises the safes were blown open, and from Trenwith's the sum of £4 was stolen. When the employees of the factories arrived this morning, it was found that the front doors of both premises had been forced. The safes had been almost completely wrecked, evidently by the use of a powerful explosive. \ Heaps of packing and other material showed that precautions had been taken to deaden the sound of the explosion, but the charge in each case had been made sufficiently strong tc prevent any chance of failure.
