I regret to report the occurrence of an armed robbery in the shroff's office on the evening of September 25th. The cash from out-stations arrived by train shortly after 6 p.m. as usual and was taken to the door of the shroff's office under the escort of an Indian Policeman who then left the building. The bags containing station receipts had been placed on the counter, and whilst the shroff was sorting papers, three men armed with revolvers suddenly appeared in the office, pushing in front of them the Chinese Watchman who had been sitting outside the door. The robbers then tied up and gagged the shroff, the watchman, and the office coolie, and taking the key of the safe from the shroff's pocket, took all the money out of his safe, emptied the bags on the counter, and escaped. Of the money stolen $1,334.57 was taken from the shroff's safe, and $369.04 from the bags of cash. The former sum in the shroff's safe was part of the Railway Imprest Cash of $5,000.00. The loss is written off in the accounts for the current year, the amount being charged to Miscellaneous debits in the Income Account.
