COMMISSIONER TUNBRIDGE.
WELLINGTON, this day.
A well-deserved tribute was paid by Mr. Atkinson, ex-M.H.R, at a no-license meeting last night to the activity that the police had displayed under the able directorship of Commissioner Tunbridge, in enforcing the licensing laws. He regarded it as a serious disaster to the colony that Mr. Tun bridge had seen fit to resign his position. It was to be hoped that his successor, Mr. Dinnie, would t_tl_c a similar stand. THE WRONG HOUSE. Bearding the lion in his den is a somewhat risky exploit for law-breakers. On Saturday an elderly man named Alexander Johnston was charged with having been found on the previous night without lawful excus- on the premises of no less a personage than Police Inspector Ellison. Johnston, who is an old offender, was convicted and discharged, the inspector stacing that probably drink and not criminal intent was the cause of his interview with the Bench on this occasion.
