"POST-0FFICE CAUTION"
a" A curious attempt TO rob the Post o flee of
ew-Castle-upon-Tyne was lately frustrated -
a clerk of one of the banks, having occasion to
take letter to the Post-office, after it was shut
up, put it into the aperture which is left omen for
that rurpose-when, as he was walking off. il
struck him as strange, that he had not heard the
letter fall to the bottom, as is usually the case &
appreheusiye that all was not right lie returned
to examine fireplace After some investigation.
he felt two pieces of wire banging over the edge
OF the opening, and in drawing them out, fouad
that their other extremity was SO bent and con.
trived, as to intercept every letter that might he
put in. When drawn out, four letters, besides
the one he had put in, had tins been intercepted.
He immediately acquainted the person who
sleeps IN the Office with the circumstance. anil
measures were taken to discover the persons vino
had done it, but unfortunately without effect.
TIE business is now undergoing an investigation.
which IT rs sincerely 70 be hoped may lead to the
detection OF the villains. This circumstance
should render every one particularly careful al.
ways to remark, that tie letters they put in drop
TO the bottom, especially when put in after Office
