No attempt was made to enter the house. Another old cannon which, though valuable, is made of iron, was left. The two missing cannon were bought by Mr. Justice Greaves-Lord some time ago. Their disappearance was reported by a servant. The police were informed, and inquiries show that a motor-car was seen to stop at the gates in tho darkness. Two men entered the grounds. Melted down as' bronze, the cannon could be sold for a good price.
