CLEVER CAPTURE OF BURGLARS.
[BY telegraph.—press ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Tuesday. Acting-Constable Lacky, of tho Permanent Artillery, made a clever capture of couple of burglars early this morning. When passing Ralph's drapery shop, Cubastreet, he suspected all was not right. He obtained entrance and discovered two men, who gave the narres of Patrick McGuire and Henry Jones, searching about the premises, apparently for a safe. Lacey closed with the men, and after a short struggle, in which he was assisted by some compositors from the New Zealand Times, the burglars were arrested. Skeleton keys were found on each of the prisoners.
