BURGLARY AT MENINDIE.
CS. A. Register J For the past thirty-seven years the Hon G. C. Walker, M.P., has resided at “ The Briars,” Menindie, in fancied security from the enterprising burglar; hut on Saturday ho and his family had their confidence rudely disturbed by discovering that the mansion had been broken into on Friday night, and a quantity of valuable jowellry and a large sum of money stolen. A representative of tho Register called on Mr Walker, who showed him over tho scene of tho burglar’s operatious,and said: —“ Early this morning my housekeeper called me, and asked if I had taken my watch down, as it was not in its usual place. Tho window of my dressing room was open, and on examination I discovered that a gold watch, worth seventy guineas, had disappeared ; also a Watorbury -Watch which I keep to check the other by. Pour of my pins were also gone, etc.” Nothing can show better the estimation iu which the unpretentious but reliable Watorbury is held by men of means.
