public trial, merely to place beyond

grain as well as green and wei; but
those who have seen it work in the
States will not care much for that.
Mr.. Hobbs, Of the American Bank
Lock Company, has had a, recent
trial of the Chubb Lock, so long
deemed invincible here, and consun-
ed twenty-four minutes and a hall
in picking il, under the supervision
Of Judges of unquestionable ability

il without disturbing the "Detector, "
and lett il as when set before him.
He has now to try his skill on the
"Bramah'' lock under the challenge
for f200; and, should he be able 70
open il, he shall there rest the case.
He has been sent for by The Cover

other repositories Of treasure here
