TESTIMONIALS TO THE SECURITY OF CHUBBS LOCKS

From A. F. Tracey , Esq., Governor of the Westminster Houseof Correction.

House of Correction, Westminster, March 11,1850.

I am of opinion, after an experience of nearly sixteen years, that yourLocks are admirably adapted for every use in prisons, and wherever securityis deemed an important consideration.

From Mr. Pearce , Superintendent of the A. Division,Metropolitan Police.

Great Exhibition, Hyde Park, 29th October, 1851.

*' Gentlemen, I can say, after 27 years experience as an officer in theOld and Metropolitan Police, that I have never known an instance of arobbery having been committed by picking one of your Locks.

From Mr. Otway , Superintendent of C. Division , MetropolitanPolice.

8, Great Vine Street, 3rd May, 1853.

Gentlemen, I have the pleasure to inform you, that having one ofyour Locks on the street door of ray house prevented my being robbed lastnight.I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,

** Messrs. Chubb & Son. * C. Otway.

From the Cashier of the Dundee Bank.

An attempt was made upon this Bank on the night of 31st January,1852, by a set of thieves evidently quite accomplished in their profession.They selected for tiieir operations an iron door secured by one of Chubb'sLocks, in attempting to pick which all their ingenuity was at first ex-pended; but the only alternative was ihe tedious and laborious one ofboring into the Lock, in order to destroy it. Before this could be accom-plished a sudden alarm made them take to flight; but the work done inIwring, &c., could not have occupied less than four or five hours, In theirflight they left all their implements behind them,,including a perfect setof Lock-picking instruments, being amply furnished for their work.

From the London and North Western Bailway Company ,Liverpool.

I7tb May, 1853.

Gentlemen, I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the elfi-ciency of the Iron Door and Locks of your make, which secure the StrongRoom at this Office, and which completely baffled the efforts of one ormore Burglars to get at the Money Chest, on the night of Thursday last,although it is evident that considerable force was used to break open theDoor.I am, Gentlemen, your obedient Servant,

Messrs. Chubb Sc Son.Geo. Palmer.
