-By Te^granh — Copyright.)
WELLINGTON, Saturday. What seems to have been one of the boldest and noisiest burglaries committed in Wellington for some time occurred at the foot of Majoribanks . Street early on Thursday morning. The door o? T. G. Liddle's I tobacconist and hairdressing shop I was forced open, and money and goods to a total value of about £70 was stolen. Thoso engaged in the erime hammered and wrenehed the door so loudly that, according to a man living nearby, they eould at times have been heard a quarter of a mile away. ,One neighbour thought someone was repairing a motor car. It appears from what the neighbours say that two or three men were engaged in the burglary. A jemmy and a 'hacksaw were used to attack the stout lock and iron hasp with which the door was secured. ' According to the time that a lou# S ■report was heard entrance was apparently gained about 3.30 a.m. The noise was mistaken by one who heard it for a blow-out of a motor tyre. It must have occurred when the door finally gave way.
