The money was received by the robbers, who were permitted to decamp at their leisure.
When we mention the name of the notorious 'Starlight', no one will be surprised that the deed was planned, carried out, and executed with consummate address and completeness.

It seems matter of regret that we cannot persuade this illustrious depredator to take the command of our police force, that body of life-assurers and property-protectors which has proved so singularly ineffective as a preventive service in the present case.

On the well-known proverbial principle we might hope for the best results under Mr.Starlight's intelligent supervision.

We must not withhold our approval as to one item of success which the force has scored.

Starlight himself and a half-caste henchman have been cleverly captured by Detective Stillbrook, just as the former, who has been ruffling it among the 'aristocratic' settlers of Christchurch, was about to sail for Honolulu.
