DARING BURGLARIES IN SYDNEY.
There have been several daring burglaries committed in Sydney recently, which have caused considerable alarm. On Sunday morning, October Bth, three shops in Oxford street were broken into from the back premises and ransacked. It would appear (states the ‘Sydney Morning Herald ’ of October 12) that to aid, them they had made use of a new accessory in thefts of the burglarious kind some drug, with which they appear to have fumigated the rooms into which they entered, and which had the effect of temporarily stupefying the ocqu pants, and of bringing about unpleasant after consequences, some of those exposed to the influence of the drug, which is said to have resembled musk in smell, not as yet having recovered their former health.
