CLEVERLY PLANNED ROBBERY

Brisbane, Friday

It was reported to-day that a loss of £152 10s was suffered by the Railway Department. As the safe at the central station was not considered strong enough for the lodgement of large sums of money, it had been the practice to send the money in a sealed bag to the Roma-street station by the last train.

This course was followed on Wednesday night, and the guard too from the booking office a bag presumed to contain the sum mentioned, and carried it to the Roma-street station, where it was lodged in the safe.

When opened yesterday the bag was found to contain only 8s and 9d in coppers.
