DARING BURGLARY.

ENTRY MADE AT AUCKLAND. (By Telegraph—Special to Times.) AUCKLAND, Saturday. While three people slept in a bedroom at the home of Mr and Airs Clem Eaves, Grey Lynn, a burglar climbed through an open window, forced open three drawers in a chest, and stole £lB. Judging by the marks on the top of the drawers a great deal of leverage had to be used to force the lock. There were two beds in the room. One was occupied by a woman and child, and the other by another child. Two families live in the house, and all save one little girl, who was in 1 lie bedroom, are deaf and dumb, so the apparently daring burglar need have had no fear. He apparently was aware of this, for there was evidence of his having slept in the wash-house. The sum of money in I lie house was the result of hard saving by both families. Eight £1 notes and two £5 notes were stolen.

MONEY* AND RING TAKEN. (By Telegrapn.—-Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Saturday. Entering the house of Commander B. L. Hewitt, at Remuera, while it was occupied, an intruder stole a sum of money in a handbag and a diamond ring, valued at £45, from a bedroom occupied by Lady Tuck, who was staying with Commander and Airs Hewitt. A handbag containing £2 10s was also stolen from a room on the other side of the houseThe daring robbery took place while Lady Tuck and Commander and Airs Hewitt were in the drawing-room in tlie evening, and was not discovered until Lady Tuck went to her bedroom about 9.30. No sound was heard during the evening.
