The number of household robberies which take place in Melbourne is something alarming. If the newspapers reported one-half the cases their columns would be full. In the great majority of instances the robbers are never discovered ; but the police have just dropped upon a father and daughter in St. Kilda who have Iren making a regular trade of the practice. The arrest came through the daughter being caught by the proprietor of a house she was busily engaged m robbing. Goodness knows how many different cases have been brought home to them. Their custom was to pawn the goods in one or other of the distant suburbs.
