LONDON, January 16
Motor bandits broke into the residence or sir Spencer Poeklington Mary-on-Maryon Wilson (eleventh Baron of East Borne, owner of 6000 acres in West Kent), at Yattendon, and stole twenty thousand pounds worth of jewels, including a pearl necklace worth eighteen thousand pounds. The burglary evidently was one of a .series committed by a gang of four men and two women, who were utilising stolen cars. Their escape was aided by the fact that the recent gale had destroyed the telephone lines.
