some person or persons. The entrance
was gained by removing large piece
of glass from a window of the yestry.

glass was cut, diamond was used.
After getting into the vestry, the

visited was the crib, the box for the
offerings of the faithful being broken
open. One of the boxes of Catholic
Truth Society was also broken open.
The tin box belonging to the Vincent

over the management. We never saw
the house and hospitals in such fine
order, and as for the handsome little
