He lost altogether about £9, the thief or thieves not touching jewellery or cycle accessories. First Mr. Bennett’s residence at 91 Edward Avenue, St. Albans, was entered during the family’s absence, in the afternoon, the back door being forced with an axe. The house was ransacked. The children’s money boxes were emptied and one, a Post Office Savings Bank box, taken. During the search the thieves evidently came across Mr. Bennett’s keys and his business address, and at night they visited the business premises. They entered by unlocking the front door.
