to carry decisions into effect - and that is what is most wanted here. The Provincial authorities with their limited revenue cannot be expected to keep up so large a body of Police as is needed; they do very well in allowing two for this District. But they cannot and ought not to have any thing to do with a Maori Police, and without that a Resident Magistrate in a Maori District is little better than a cipher. I have been looking forward hopefully for a long time, to the formation of the body of Police that was talked of last session, and I trust that a few words from you will get something done on the subject.
