AUDACIOUS BURGLARY.
Aw audacious althongb. unsuccessful burglary was perpetrated on Thursday night or Friday morning at the Railway Terminuß Hotel, Official Bay. It appears that Mrs. Endean and her assistants had been up later than usual on Thursday night, as thoy were waiting up for a boarder, and retired at about one o'clock, after seeing that the house was secure. When they got up on Friday morning and opened the bar it was discovered that an entry had been made to the bar through the window facing Short-street. It would appear as if there must havo been two people engaged in the job, as there were traces of at least two. They prised open a locked cupboard in the bar, but found nothiug to abstract, at least nothing was abstracted, and the thieves decamped alter taking about 5« from the till and two bottles of cordial, which they apparently mistook for stronger liquors. The police were at once communicated with, and the detectives are now investigating the affair.
