Lady Miles’ Safe Ransacked and Jewels Valued at £165,000 Taken.

London, Dec. 20.—While Sir Cecil Miles and his family were at dinner at their country seat, Leigh Court, near Bristol, Sunday, burglars entered the mansion unobserved and went straight to Lady Miles’ apartments, where she had left jewels valued at £165,000 i» an unlocked safe. They ransacked the safe, but took only the jewels, not burdening themselves with silver articles and valuable papers. Lady Miles found the room in confusion when she returned. The police were at once notified, but the mar seders escaped.
