To the Editor of the "NontH-Citwa Datty News.
Sin,—Your readers may be interested in learning of a smart bit of Police work which occurred yesterday; and it may serve as a guide to others in like circumstances, On reaching home mid-day housebo} informed me that four suits of my son's summer flannels had been stolen from the laundryman's deying-yard. Directly after tiffin I went to Bubbling Well Station and reported the loss to, the Police, leaving the station at about 2.80 p.m- At 4.30 p.m, they telephoned to my office to tell me that property had been recovered from a pawnshop in the Sinza district, and at,7 pin, the four suits were back again in my own home, neevssary formalities having been attended to in the interval.
T think you will agree with me pretty quick work, and what our Police can do, e comparatively small cases, if only they are informed in good time: Needless to say, I am very, grateful to them, for $260 worth of summer clothes vould have been difficult to replace in these times.
