EXTRAORDINARY THEFT
HOTEL WINDOW BROKEN AND LIQUOR TAKEN.'. ■■■•. . One of tlie most impudent expedients yet heard of for slaking a thirst was adopted by a young man in Lambton Quay last night. .' .'. ' Just about 11 o'clock a crash of glass was heard outside Barrett's Hotel, and a passer-by then saw , a man walk across from the bottle- department of the house, knock the head off the top of a . bottle of beer, ■ and coolly commence to demolish the contents; He was still standing on tho kerbing pouring thn liquor down his throat when Mr.. D. Dalton, the licensee of' the hotel, appeared on the scene. The pane broken was an expensive one'; and it is thought that the man probably put his' foot 'through, it. 1 One of the extraordinary circumstances of the affair is the extreme boldness with which the theft was executed. There was no attempt at flight, and there were neople passing 'along not far away at the time. -;
