ATTEMPT TO BREAK INTO BOW-ST.

OAK DOOR DEFIES, AN AMATEUR RAFFLES

An amateur Raffles made an unsuccess" ful attempt to force open the public door of Bow-street Police Court on the last night of the old year.

The first discovery was made when the officials arrived the following morning, Jemmy marks were then noticed between the double doors, while the woodwork was splintered for about six inches around the locks, at an average depth of one inch.....

The doors are of 3-inch solid oak, with two locks and two heavy bolts, and the attempt was unsuccessful..

The police patrols which are stationed all night outside the main gates of the police station a distance of fifteen yards away saw nothing during the night to arouse their suspicions. At one time a happy band of spirits from the Covent Garden Opera House assembled outside the station to welcome the New Year with a boisterous rendering of Auld Lang Syne."

1%

Although the court door cannot be fully seen from the point at which the night patrols are stationed, it is the practice of one constable to patrol the whole block of buildings, and after the various reports of the men on duty on the occasion in question the authorities decided not to requisition the aid of the fying squad in the matter.

The police, however, are anxious to know why the attempt was made, and are inclined to the view that it was the. result of a wager.

In the whole building there would be only a few shillings, and those would be safely locked away in the poor box
