A Daylight Bespirado.
[By Telegraph.]
(From Our Own Correspondent).
Wellington, Friday. An extraordinary and impudent robbery in broad daylight ocourred in Cuba street yesterday. About midday, while Sir W. E. Woods, ohemist, was in the back room of his premises, a tbief stole his cashbox from the desk in the shop and also went through the money till. Fortunately Mr Woods had banked that morning, so that the oontents of the oashbox were confined to deeds and other documents. Fifteen or sixteen shillings were taken from the till, two * poundTTn'Ti6teV"iirTt separate odn?-~ partment being overlooked. The same robber also attempted to rifle a stationer's shop in the same street of a cashbox and its contents at about the same time of the day. In the latter instance nothing was taken, the individual being disturbed by the entrance of a customer. The latter saw the desperado, and described him as a young man. The detectives have the matter in hand.
