An entrance was effected through n window faciner Mr Qualtrough's ind leading into Mr Davey's ollice. A pane of glass was broken and the latch pushed back, but as the window was further secured by a nail through the two sashes and also two projecting nails in tho bottom part of the upper sash, some considerable force had to be used U open it, and owing to the protecting nails it could not be shut again.

The only tiling that Mr Davy has missed is a block of about 20lbs. of tobacco, and one stick of this was found lying in the grass outside the window, evidently having dropped off the block.
