Another resident not long ago also lost.a gold watch. Two or three attempts at burglary have been made at Kowloon, and on the 9th inst. a burglar succeeded in outering one of the houses in Knutsford Terrace and carried off a Waterbury and some loose silver. In no case has an arrest been made, and as the facilities for making oft to the mainland. are so great it is hard to blame the Police.
