These facts, of course, have made the affair
very unpleasant for our emjilot/cs, and led to the police discovering several extraordinary ' ' mares nests. " We think it right to state, however, that suspicion does not rest on any clerk or compositor. All have satisfactorily accounted for their whereabouts on Friday evening, and it is as certain as anything can be that none of them were in the neighbourhood of Shortlandstreet after half-past 5. We incline to the opinion that it is someone who has been, rather than is, connected with the estahlishment, and we don't suppose there is the smallest chance of the culprit being caught. Anyone who can give either the police or ourselves any information calculated to lead to the arrest of the burglar will, however, be liberally rewarded.
