THE BANK ROBBERY AT SEYMOUR.
# The * Wangaratta Despatch ’ of Saturday gives the following particulars of the hank robbery reported by telegram in our columns on Saturday:—“At 1 o’clock yesterday a man entered the Bank of Victoria, Seymour, and proceeded to stick up the clerk who was in charge. The manager had gone to lunch. The thief presented a revolver at the clerk, and tied him securely. He then proceeded to rob the bank of no less a sum than LBl6 10s, made up in the following manner, namely :—Kinety-one LI notes of the Bank of Victoria, eighty-five L 5 notes of the same bank, L 204 in notes of other banks, L6B in gold, L 22 in silver, L 6 10s in coppers. The man who committed this offence was disguised, having a wig on, also a grey beard, although it is believed the robbery was committed by an aged man. At the time he was in the bank the man was dressed in a drab tweed suit, and was afterwards seen with an old torn coat on and moleskin trousers. Two persons have already been arrested in Seymour ou suspicion. This certainly is one of the most daring robberies wc ever heard of, the more particularly when it is born in mind that it took place at 1 o’clock in the day.
