SOME time between Saturday evening and this morning, a robbery was committed in the store of Messrs. Lane, Crawford & Co., Queen's Road, both money and stores being missing. Every thing, it appears, was made secure on Saturday evening when closing up, and this ing, upon opening the store, a window on the west side of the store, which could only be opened from the inside, was found open, marks of feet being discernible on the wall below, terminating in a narrow lane. Suspicion points. strongly to one of the store coolics who has disappeared, and who is believed to have gone to Canton. The presumption is that this. man hid himself in the store at closing time on Saturday evening, and that when every body had gone and he had the store all to himself, he effected the robbery, escaping by the window referred to.
