COMMONWEALTH CABLES.

SUNRREY HILLS ROBBERY. . Sydney, February 4. Two men with hand-bags accosted a resident at Monavale. One hurriedly extracted a Bank of New South Wales pound note from the bag, and earnestly requested change, saying that he was willing to accept 18s or 16s. The offer was declined. It is evident that the bag was chockful of notes. It is believed that the incident has some bearing on the Surrey Hills robbery. HEAT IN VICTORIA. Melbourne, February 4. To-day was the hottest of the season, 105 degrees being recorded in the shade. 'THE TROTTER MURDER. Newcastle, February 4. Counsel applied for bail for Thompson, charged with the murder of Trotter, on the ground that he des.red to obtain evidence of his whereabouts on the night of the tragedy. Bail was refused. THE CEMETERY SCANDAL. Hobart, February 4. At the reserved case against George Luckman, manager of the Queensborough Cemetery, defendant was fined £lO. , ’ “SNOWY” FULTON’S FATE. Sydney, February 4. At the inquest on Alexander (“Snowy”) Fulton a constable testified that Fulton, when interrogated at the hospital as to who stabbed him, replied; “What’s the use of telling. If I die he will get seven years’, and if I recover I will get even with him myself.” The coroner adjourned the inquest, saying that he was not at all satisfied. He was convinced that the witnesses knew considerably more than they told. A Sydney cablegram dated December 19 says: “Snowy” Fulton, the well-known boxing trainer, was stabbed and kicked to death in a riot in Market street on Saturday night.
