Entrance lo the place was effected through climbing on to a lean-10, getting through a back window leading into the upper portion of the building, removing a pane of glass from a sky-light, placing a scantling across tho opening, from which scantling it was easy for the intruder to-lower himself to the floor.

Detective Lewis, of Wellington, was sent to investigate the Levin robbery, and Detectivo Andrews; also of Wellington, was dispatched to Mastcrton.
