BURGLARY AT AUCKLAND.

SILVER TOILET WARE STOLEN. [by telecrami.— own correspondent.]' Auckland, November 4. A burglary occurred at "Glenalvoii" boarding house in tho early hours of Sunday morning. Miss Denniston, daughter of Judge Denniston, who was sleeping in ai\ upstairs bedroom, was awakened, and found that the dressing-table had been -relieved of a large and varied assortment of silver toilet-ware, her own property, valued at from £13 to £20. A light-tingcvcd visitor. had evidently mounted to the window by the fireescape, and without entering through the window of Miss Dcnniston's apartment helped himself to all within reach on the dressing-table. He appears then to have returned to the ground by another fire-escape, and about 1-2..30 a.m., Mr. District Judge Kettle, who boards at the same, house, was aroused by tho noise of someone opening a window in a basement room below bis apartment. He could also distinguish the sounds as of a person fumbling about in the dark. The alarm was immediately given and the whole house aroused, but without resulting in any capture being made. The burglar, on entering the lower room, struck unpayable ground, as noining worth "acquiring" was lying about there.
