I am urged (by the maxim that good service should not go unrecog- nized) to publicly acknowledge the service rendered to me by Chief Con- stable Sydney Bérraclough, in recov- ering some part of the loot stolen from my shop. The tools in quest- ion could not be replaced for less than sixty dollars, an amount not eas- ily raised in these days of depression. I happen to know that Constable Bar- racloug‘h spent a lot of time, and went to a great deal of trouble, to recover these tools so necessary in my bus- iness. He, perhaps, more than some others, knew that I could ill afford to lose ‘them. Thanking you for the use of your valued paper to thus enable me to publicly express my appreciation of his splendid work.
