Tha burglary was committed on New Year's Eve. When the watchman was passing along the Pitt street front in the curly hours of the morning, he discerned a door off its lunges. Investigations within the building disclosed that depredations had been committed upon the jewellery department.

' He took the screws from the hinges, lifted the door oft, and got clear. The haul was worth £224 or so, nnd consisted of gold watches and alberts, bracelets, and rolled gold trinkets.
