The police have been engaged in the Investigation of the circumstances surrounding a robbery which occurred in Pitt-Street about a fortnight back, but so far their efforts have been quite fruitless. The robbery took place at night on the premises of Mr Edwin Guildford, fancy goods dealer and tobacconist, of Pitt-street. On the following morning Mrs Guildford came down to open the shop, and noticed that one corner of the side window looked very bare, 'On making a closer examination she found that some one had been around during the night and had carried off a miscellaneous collection of articles to the value of about £5 8s 9d, after having first carefully removed a portion of the plate glass window. The goods taken comprised pipes, colonial tobacco and various other articles. The matter was immediately reported to the police, but so far they seem to have been unable to obtain any trace of the thief or of the stolen property.

That tradesmen are alive to the necessity of definitely deciding the vexed question of on which half-day in the week the shops shall be closed, was shown by the large number who attended in the lecture ball of the V.M.C.A. Auckland Star, 29 Mar 1895 - Larceny. Four boys named ........... pleaded guilty to having stolen seven books of the value of 14s, of the property of Edwin Guildford. It was stated that the accused stole the books from Mr Guildford's toy shop in Pitt-street, and sold them to other dealers. After being severely reprimanded by the Bench they were discharged with a caution.. Auckland Star, 13 April 1895: In Auckland at the present time we have guilds and associations of all kinds, and no doubt a Philatelist Guild will ultimately be formed. In fact it may be said to exist now, for one night in each week grave-faced men assemble with albums under their arms and discuss the progress of the disease. Guild would be a more suitable name for the gathering than society, as the gentleman at whose establishment the philatelists meet is "Mr Guildford", of Pitt-street, who is himself an enthusiastic collector. A visit to his back room will open the eyes of collectors. There may be seen men with magnifying glasses, perforation gauges and all sorts of means for testing the genuineness of an old stamp. The thing has become almost a science now, and if Mr Noah had sent a message with a stamp on it, I believe it would be figured in the comprehensive catalogues now. Auckland Star, 18 May 1895 - A meeting of Stamp Collectors was held last evening at Mr Guildford's, Pitt-Street, when it was decided to form the Auckland Philatelic Society. Twelve members joined and Mr J. A. Woodward was elected President, Mr E. C. Guildford Vice-President and Treasurer, and Mr U. H. Cato, Hon. Secretary.
