Bridge parade, Bristol, August sth, 1854.
Gentlemen,—We have to inform you that last igight our
premises were entered by. burglars, who blew open the strong
iron door of our wall repository by means of gunpowder, in
which was placed the Milners' Patent Holdfast Safe you re-
cently supplied us with; this they got out and attempted to
blow open in the same manner. but without success. They
were well suppplied with picklocks, crowbars, Rc., which are
now in possession of the police, but the safe was too strong
for all their efforts. We have much pleasure in bearing tes-
timony to the immense strength and security of Miluers
Holdfast Safe, of which we have had such convincing proof.—
We are, gentlemen, your obedient servants,
