ANOTHER JEWEL ROBBERY
Regarding the jewel robbery mentioned in oar telegrams yesterday we received the following from Christchurch late last night :—The police here are retiesnt on the subject of the jewel robbery, and the affair has been kept very quiet in other quarters It has been ascertained, however, that the robbery took place at the Commercial Hotel on Friday night last. A jewel case containing articles to the value of between £IOO and £l5O was abstracted from the portmanteau of Mr Gerald Pnrcell Fitzgerald, who, it is understood, is not a son but a nephew of the Duke of Leinster. Up to the present time the Christchurch police have no clue to the perpetrator. Latbb, The value of Mr Fitzgerald’s missing jewellery was £97, and there were also two cheques value £IOO, the payment of which has been stopped. The robbery took place on the night ofJSeptember Bth, The whole affair appears very mysterious, as n > one is known to have been near the room except a person who is above suspicion.
