EXTENSIVE BURGLARY.

Goodsott'3 Arcade Entered.-£350 Worth of jewellery Stoleil.

A bold and. successful burglary came to light yesterday morning. The premises in Queen-street occupied by Ml1 C. W. Gqodson as a fancy goods warehouse, and known as the London Arcade, wore found to have been forcibly entered from the rear either late on Saturday nightor early on Sun day morning and the southern show window and adjoining showcases stripped of their contents-about £350 worth Of jewellery. A large galvanised iron shed open to the yard extends along tho back of Mr Good son's premises and those of Mr W. J. ; Bull adjoining, and it seems that about 11 o'clock yesterday morning a young man named- Thomas Goodwin, omployed by Mr Bull, was engaged in this shod, cleaning buggy harness when ho noticed that a square hole had been cut in Mr Goodson'a back door. Tho circumstance was sus picious, and Mr Goodwin at once ac quainted Mr Bull with it, tho result being that both men proceeded without delay to tho police station and gave information of the affair to Detective Tuohy. This oth'cor at once hurried to tho pre mises, and found that tho suspicions of his informants wero Woll grounded. The place boro every trace of having been broken into, and tho stock of jewellery had disappeared from tho shop. Tho detective telephoned to tho North Shoro for Mr Goodson, but aa it ap peared ho had ceased to reside in that district, a messenger was despatched to George - street, Ponsonby, for hid shopman, Mi- P. Wholan, who arrived soon afterwards. Detoctivo Walker also joined Dotoctivo Tuohy, and tho two officers mado a thorough examination of tho premises. They found that tho burglars mufet havo scaled a seven-feels high galvanised iron gate, ad joining tho Lornc-streeb Hall. Once in the yard the shed already referred to was open to them, and tho packing room ab the rear of Mr Goodson's shop would appear to havo then been unlocked by means of a skeleton koy. Tho door, ho\ve\ or, was also fastened on jtho insido Avith a wooden bar of 3 x 2 quartering fixing into a mortice hole in one jamb <_f the door and dropping into au iron cleat on tho other jamb, at tho same time falling also into a similar iron cluat on tho back of the door. A square holo was cut through tho door from the out side, by boring nino holes with an inch and a half bit, after which tho hand of tho operator had ovidently been inserted in tho opening for the purpose of lifting tho bar, which would then permit of the door being opened. Tho presumed burglar must havo been well acquainted with tho exact position of tho bar inside, for if he had bored three inches higher up, tho bit would huvo entered tho bat- itself. After gaining en trance in the manner just indicated, tho thief had to open a trap-door in tho Iloor of tho loit, which affords aceoss by a flight of stops to the shop below, for the Lorno-strect level is about 20 feet higher thai! tho Queon-streot level. This trap do6r was fastened with a staplo and hasp and padlock on tho lower, side and fitted with a framo running round all its edges, thus presenting no hold for his hand to pull it up. A few holes wore bored in this trap-door with tho bit previously used and something in tho nature of a lover in sorted which toro the door away from tho transverse slot that held the staple and lock, leaving tho slot against the open ing. Access tliua gained, the intruder reached tho Queen-street shop by two steep flights of laddor-liko stops. Tho .gas was left burning in tho shop by Mr Goodson at one jet near tho southern window fronting Queen-street when he locked up the shop at 9.30 o'clock on Satur day night, and it was still alight when Detective Tuohy entered the shop at 11..'50 on Sunday. This southern window has not outside shutters and contained behind it nothing but jewellery, all of which had disappeared. Tho northern window con tained only stationery, toys, etc., and these articles had not been tampered with. Tho fjlass of tho showcase on tho counter bc lind the southern window was broken and all the jewellery contained in it (a cheaper let than that placed in tho windows) had also gone. Two cush boxes, which held a quan tity of mixed cash, had apparently been over looked by the robbers, as they wero found untouched ; and the safe, winch contained both money and jewellery, was also intact. A further search of the window from which the bulk of the stolen goods was taken resulted in the finding of two silver rings and a greenstone pendant, besides two valuable gold rings, which wero found in 'their cases in the usual place at the back of tho window. In the shop was likewise found a lantern rudely constructed by cutting a circular hole in a square mustard tin, and placing a candle inside. This waa probably used only, for giving light while the entry was ' being efiected, as the loft or packing-room at tho back is very dark even in the daytime, while the gas in the shop is always kept burning all night so that the constable on duty may see that all is right within the shop as he paces his beat. This precaution was adopted upon Superentendent Thomson's advice after the committal of a previous robbery on Mr Goodson's premises, then lower down the street.

Mr Goodaon arrived ab tho shop at 2.30 o'clock on Sunday. He stated that he had passed down Queen-street near 10 o'clock that morning for the purpose of coming over to the North Shore to attend a religious service there. Ho walked down on the western side of Queen-street and did nob look over towards his shop. On re-! turning^ however, at 12.30 he passed tho shop, and' then saw that the southern window was. stripped of its contents. Ho hastened on1 in alarm to his residence in Grafton Road for the shop keys, and then brought thorn down to tho Police Station. Ho supplies' the • following list of the jewellery stolen, which includes tho prin sipal articles missing:—3 gonts' S.Hf watches, 1 lady's B.H. Geneva, 5 gold Albert chains, 3 gold sets - brooches and earrings set with Alaska diamonds; 10 colonial gold sets - brooches and earrings, 3 gold sets of studs, 6 gold sets of studs,' 36 gold wedding rings, 10 ladies' gold dress - rings, gents' 9 carat gold rings set with Alaska diamonds; 24 ladies' gold fancy rings, 15 carat, set with stones; 6 gents.' gold rings, 9 carat; 2 diggers' gold rings, 15 carat, 12 gents': gold rings, 15 carat; 1 ring, 15 carat, set with turquoises ; 12 gold lockets ;| silver' alberts, necklets, lockets, bangles,, brooches and earrings ; 6 boxes of tents' silver ririgs, .12 in each ; 36 silver' racelets ; gents' sets of silver studs, silver solitaires, silver earrings. Total value about £350. "

Mr Goodson left his shop at 9.30 o'clock on Saturday night and the premises were closed up an hour later by the son of the proprietor, Mr Harry Goodson, being, the last person to leave. Detective Walker passed the shop at 1 o'clock on Sunday morning and spoke to Sergeant Lyons and. Constable Kelso. Nothing then had at-1 tracted notice in connection with it.

The burglars must have been well-posted up as to the position of things inside the shop, and the exact manner in which the doors were fastened. Their provision of the hide lantern shows a fore knowledge of the dark loft and steep stairs whichhad to. be traversed before reaching the gas-lighted shop, and the auger indicatesa correctappro hension of how the'back door was fastened. It seems strange, however, that the shop, could be rifled without the suspicions of the« constable on duty being aroused. As allusion has been made to a previousl burglary on Mr Goodson's premises, it may. not pc amiss to supply the brief facts. On,

the morning of Monday May 12, 1885, Mr Goodson's Arcade, then situated at the opposite corner of Victoria and Queen streets from the Greyhound Hotel, was found to have been entered during the night, and gold , jewellery to the value of about LSOO carried off. The silver jewellery was left untouched. No trace was left behind and the conclusion arrived at was that either the robbers effected an entrance by means of skeleton keys, or were hidde onn tho premises when they wero closed at 10.30 p.m. on the previous Saturday.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

INVENTIONS ©F TEE GO •VJBEBBUSNT.

(BY TELEGRAX'H—OWN RBPOETEE.)

Wellington, this day. The probabilities in the event of tho Oppo sition refusing supplies to the Government havo been freely discussed. lam assured that under such circumstances tho Go vernment would resign, although I be lievo that it would bo within their power to make an appeal to the country on tho old Representation Bill. This, however, is foreign to their desire, as they profess to bo anxious for the election taking placo under tho new bill. The Government platform, in the event of a general election, should bo of interest. At tho present timo Ministers are resolved to go to the country on the tariff which lias just been rejected, believing it to bo calculated to restore languishing industries to a vigorous condition. Thoy will refuse to allow any reduction to be made in the Education or Defence votes, but promiso retrenchment and economy in cvory brunch of tho public service. They ridicule tho idea of a saving of LIOO,OOO in tho Defence voto, seeing that it is properly only 150,000 altogether, tho other L 102.000 being for tho inuintonunoo of civil polico force. Wellington Opinion. In an article respecting the probablo re sults of tho dissolution tho " Tost" says :— "Tho judgment of tho country will, wo oxpect, bo so unequivocal that the question as between protection and free trade will for a long timo ceaeo to be included in tho rango of practical politics in New Zealand, and parties will bo founded on altogether other lines. But Major Atkinson, although ho headed a majority in tho lobby last night, must not lay the flattering unction to his soul that thoso who voted for him, in condemnation of tho ■ Government Budget, approve of him, or aro inclined to accept uny policy which ho may proi>oimd. Neither the House nor tho country is any more prepared to accept a Hull-Atkinson Government or any revival of tho Continuous Ministry and its policy than to accept protection and en ablo tho present Ministry to give effect to their view*. Major Atkinson, oven though backed up by Sir John Hall, could not,we are convinced, form a Ministry which would command influence or support in or out of the House. In fact, tho public feeling, and it is rtrongly reflected in the Houmu, is that the Ministerial portfolios should no longor bo treated as shuttle cocks to be thrown from, battledores to battledores in the bands of two select parties of experienced players, while all tho best of tho House aro reduced to the position of mere spectators. Tho country is tired of its old loaders and their small coterlos who assumo a monopoly of succession to oflice. Thero never was a time when tho desire was so strong for now blood, and to have in oflico a Ministry who would bo ablo to take a now and indepen dent departure unhampered by precedents of its own creation and of its own past."

Blext- Elect i on-Vudet WJiicb ISM? An endeavour will bo mado by tho Op position to securo ono very important amendment in the Representation Bill be fore it passes. It appears that the commis sioners are nob requirod to report now boundaries until lapse of tbrco months. An amendment will bo' moved requiring thorn to fix tho boundaries and report forbh wibh. A clause will also bo introduced repealing the present act. The Opposition dodaro they will not at tempt to refuse supply to the Government if the election is bo bo carried out on tho basis of the new representation act. It is, however, probable bnab they will seek a promise to bhab cflbcb in black and white, on tho same principle as was pur sued with Sir Goorge Grey's Govornment several years ago. An Important Point Elucidated The Chairman of the Paparata Road Board has been . representing, through Mr Hamlin, tho desirability of an amendment in the Rating Act. His contention is this :—" Any person buying or leasing property after the valua tion roll is made up has no vote until tho next valuation roll is made which may bo two or throe years; wheras fieoplo who have sold or leased their and arid loft the district, may come and exercise their vote, having^ no real interest in tho district." In his letter to tho Premier Mr Hamlin says :—" Ido not think the above contention right. ' Clause 3 of the Rating Act, ISS2, favours the above idea ; so does Clauso 88 of highways Act, 1882; bub I think Clauso 10 of the Rating Act, 1882, gives the Chairman and members of the Road Board the former to strike a name off their roll and pub another on." Tho Promior replies that the contention of Mr, Hamlio is tho correct, one and that clause 10. meets the case. The point is an important one to ratepayers.

THE LATEST. MINISTERS CONFIDENT.

Ministers state that they havo received telegrams from all parts of the country askingthem nobbo resign. They declare their strong bolief that they will return with a working majority, and that tho country will affirm in favour of Protection.

Uncontiidofflar Dissolution Asked. For.

An unconditional dissolution was asked for on' Saturday,- the Premier stating that unless the Governor would grant tho request of Ministers they would resign. His Excellency requested the Premier to furnish him with a memo, embodying' the exact Adews of tho Government. Late on Saturday the request was complied with, and the Vice Regal signature appended to the document. The memo, promises that the Government, conditional on being granted six months', supplies from the 31st March, would endeavour to push the Representation Bill through the Council,' and make it become law , immediately. The boundaries of tho new constituencies should be arranged with the least possible delay, and before the elections could take place, in August or Soptembor at tho latest.

If Ministers succeeded in •• carrying their views into cflect, Parliament) will reassemble about the end • of September. Should1 the Opposition, however, refuse to, grant supply, pr if tho Council mako.any material

alteration in the Representation Act a dissolution will immediately follow, and the elections will take place under tho present Representation Act. Mr Rolleston and a section of the Opposition who strenuously object to tho cost of a second session, talk of opposing supply, and think that the Go vernment, in the face of Friday night's vote ought to resign. Those who think with him in this direction are in ft hopeless minority. The Cabinet meet at 2.30. Ministers are snowing strictest reticence with respect to their intentions, and even decline to give this information to fchoir own supporters.

RUMOURED CHANGES IN THE CABINET.

(BY TELEGRAM!—OWN EEPOBTEB.)

Wellington, this day.

As I wired on Saturday some re-arrange mont of ministerial portfolios is projected. It is proposed that Mr Richardson be rolioved of the management of the working railways, and that this Department shall bo entrusted to Mr Larnach, who held tho portfolio of Minister for Public Worka in the Grey administration. In tho event of this change ■being decided on, Mr Richardson will continuo to havo charge of constructed lines, but may not improbably stump tho country before the elections tako placo.

In the evening there waa a free conference, Mr Edward Brown in tho chair. Thero has been glorious weather, and to-day there was an en thusiastic meeting of 400 happy settlers.

Second Edition. THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

End of tho Session

EXODUS OF MEHBERS BEGUN.

(BY TELEGKAPIL —SPECIAL BErOETEB.)

Wellington, this day. This week should sco the end of tho pre sent Parliament. Should tho House refuse supply, no difficulty will bo experienced, as tho present appropriation really ex tends to June 30th. The elections could bo expedited so as to enablo the now Parliament to meet in July. Efforts wore made in certain quarters to influ enco Plis Excellency to refuse a dissolution on the ground of the expenso of a second session, but I understand that Sir . William Jervois very properly held that the question of oxponse was not one for his consideration. Ho is not guardian of tho public purse of tho colony, and it is for the House of Representatives to consider the financial aspect of the question. His Ex cellency has only to satisfy himself that tho Ministry havo a constitutional claim to take tho verdict of the country upon a great question of policy on which they havo suffored a de feat in the House. In tho present case their claim to do so is undoubted. It is even ad mitted by opponents liko Mr Ormond, and is not contested by Major Atkinson. Tho exodus commences this evening, u-hon some of the Southern members leave by tho e.g. Tarawera. '
