The Austrisa and German police took extraordinary precautions sguinst their being tampered with, and at the samO time made exhaustive Examinations sed inquiries. Finally the boxes were placed in the strong room of the Schwabe at Bremen, under the seals of the German police, for conveyance to Lendon. They will be received by Chief Inspector Collison, of the City Police.

A minute comparison is to be made intreen the returney cases of lead and. the bullion boxes sent out from the Bank England. There is now very little doubt that the thieves got away with two cases of gold and left the lead-filled ensus in their piace.
