Bobbery at Palmerston
■ — - — ♦ — — [pee united press association.] Palmebston, This Day, A daring burglary was committed at Fenton's Royal Hotel, Palmerston, last night between 12 o'clock and 6 this morning, when the iron safe and box were bodily removed from the bar into the middle of the road and its contents abstracted, the box being left in the corner of the square opposite the hotel. The burglars, who evidently know the run of the place, entered by a window, afterwards removing the bar of the door, and quietly walking but with the spoil. A small cash box, containing about £90 in notes, was taken, but four watches and two cheques were left behind. The cash box, with the envelopes, was afterwards found outside Abraham's tobacconist shop where^ the plunder had evidently been divided, and that is the last trace of the thieves. Suspicion falls on .two men who were seen about the hotel yesterday, but as they have disappeared no arrests have been made.
