Patrick and Co., drapers, Cuba street, some time during the previous evening, or early yesterday morning. The burglars gained entrance through forcing a window at the rear of the premises. Their booty comprised ladies’ wearing apparel—silk knitted coats, gloves, stockings, blouses, and underclothing. The bulkiness of the stolon goods suggests that they were taken away in a vehicle, probably a motor-car.
