HOUSEBREAKING AT SALISBURY. Two robberies took place on Sunday evening in the vicinity of Elm Grove, Salisbury, and it is thought that the light-fingered gentry who are responsible for them probably came from London, travelling by one of the Sunday League trains run on Sunday. It appears that the thieves watched Mr. and Mrs. Carter—the former a whitesmith carrying on business in Salt Lane—of Elia Grove, leave their residence for chapel about 6.30, and then effected an entrance, as when the people returned they found that a box containing £l2 in cash and a quantity of jewellery. the property of Mrs. Carter, bad disappeared.--The other robbery took place at the residence of Miss Packer, Manor Road. This lady had gone out of town and had had the place securely locked up. About nine o'clock a neighbour (Mrs. IL Webb) noticed that things were not quite right and information was given to the police, who found that an entrance had beer, made and the place ransacked. Evidently the burg:ars got in at the back of the house, where the outer door had been opened with little difficulty, but the post of the inner door had been splintered to pieces before an entrance had been effected. Every drawer and cupboard had been turned out, and Moo Packer's beircom—the only room locked had been broken into and served in a similar manner. It appears that two men paid a visit to the house of Mr. W. Pritchard, doubtless with malicious intent, but on one of them ringing the bell the servant appeared and in answer to his question, that she did not know where " Mr. Robert, the architect lived they both cleared. Superintendent Mathews is making every effort to trace the men, but at present no clue has been obtained.  Ths Duke of York visited the Royal Counties' show at Southampton Oil rnday.
