One arrest was made shortly after the affair, when Constables Mullinger amd Arniel took np Patrick Burns, aged about thirty-five, on a charge ol being implicated in the affair. The hold-up was a most daping one in that it occurred early in the even ing, shortly after nine o'clock, Mr. Hickey was st his store and at five minutes after nine o'clock, in com- any with James Rigoey, leit tor fs Mr. Rigney lives at 126 John. son street and Mr. Hickey resides in the block above at No. 176, They took the usual route to their home, out Bagot street to Johnson, and then up Johnson street.
