His luggage was ransacked,,and £500 in notes and £60 in gold taken. Besides this, the thief took. possession of a quantity of jewellery. The thief appears to have been a cool band, for it is stated that a broken whisky bottle was found in the bathroom, the intruder evidently' having partaken of the whisky. The floor of the bathroom was also strewn with wearing apparel belonging to the unfortunate boarder. During the night someone heard a noise, but believing it to be a boarder moving about mado no inquiry. i'' c 'ALLEGED SHOPBREAKING.''
