A MIDNIGHT ALARM.
NURSE DISCOVERS A BURGLAR. 'At about 1 a.m. on Thursday Nurse Ethel Devine, in attendance on Fathers Delach and Bognet in the Boulcott Street Roman Catholic Presbytery, had occasion to visit the kitchen. To her surprise and alarm she discovered a man in the room, hastily endeavouring to gather up his swag preparatory to bolting. The burglar is said •to have made an attempt to prevent the nurse • giving the alarmi but she managed to ring the bell which alarmed Father Herring; who hastening downstairs, arrived just in time to hurl a walking-stick at the retreating form of the intruder, who had made a hurried exit through the kitchen window. Nothing has besn missed from the Presbytery which indicates that the burglar's visit was; fruitless.
