Burglary at Auckland.
* (Per Press Association). Auckland, March 26. The Auckland Museum was burglariously entered last night. All of the coins collection, valued at hundreds of pounds, was stolen. Entrance was effected by breaking the window. There is no clue to the offender. The collection of coins contained a large number of very early English and Roman coins as are very rarely seen in most collections, and was most valuable as far as the Museum was concerned, as well as from a coin collector's point of view. Many of the coins had been presented Ito the Museum by the late Mr R. C. Barstow, of this city, who was well known as the possessor of one of the best collections in the Colony.
