Mr Gilbert was engaged in the shop till 8 o'clock last night, when he locked up and proceeded home. When the pi-emises were opened this morning he was astonished to find that medicine drawers were all pulled out and either piled on the top of each other on the counter or on the floor. An examination of the premises showed that the burglars had effected an entrance from the rear, the locks of the back door having been picked, Fortunately, Mr Gilbert is in the habit of taking money home with him and the only money leit in, the drawer was two shilling's worth of coppers.
