STRANGE Ro . A mysterious robbery was com-
mitted on Tuesday night at the cottage occupied by
Mr. Thorne, keeper of the Burton turnpike gate, near
Dorchester Th • household retired to rest as usual
about ten o'clock, and before doing no locked and bolted
' all the doors. am I horns had occasion to get up
between three and four o'clock on the following morn-
ing, and on going downstairs found the two back doors
open No notice was taken of this, as she thought she
had heard one of her sons go downstairs duAn / the
night Boma time after •r. Thorne gat up, and on
.oing to feed the p p found a little wooden money-box
broken, and thrown into the wash bucket. This
aroused his suspicion, and on proceeding wetain to
where the box was usually kept, and safe the Monday
night previous, he found it gone. The money-box was
placed in a clothes box, which was close by Mr.
Thorne's bedside, and • glass of water upon it had
apparently not been moved. The whole contents,
out i:130 in gold, could not be found, and informa-
tion was at once given to the police. Supt. Underwood,
with P.C. Arney, proceeded to the bowie and made a
careful Inspection; but found no marks or clue to any
person breaking into the place, nor was the clothes-box
in any way disturbed or broken, which is most singular.
No satirise* y elucidation of the mystery bee yet been
discovered. This is the more to be regretted because it
has 000mioned the attaching of suspicion to persons
not at all likely to be guilty. Much sympathy is
manifested towards Mr. and Mrs. Thorne and their
sons, for they are • most respectable and industrious
family.
