HOTEL THIEVES.
These light-fingered gentry have been getting to work again and the latest report of their misdoings is from Hamilton, where one night last week thieves were actively at work. Amongst the guests in the house were several members of the Pollard Opera Company, including Mr Low, the manager. This was probably the reason for the raid on the hotel, but fortunately Mr Low had taken the precaution to lock the night’s takings in a strong room in the town. Sometime during the night his room was entered, and his gold watch and chain, some medals, and a sovereign purse containing five sovereigns were appropriated. Other rooms were also visited, but nothing of value was taken.
