THE POLICE.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE PRESS. Sir,—Your correspondent in pulling to pieces Mr Duncan's very rotten speech on asking for the Railway Commission, has omitted to notice one point which, if not an intentional falsehood, at least betrays an amount of ignorance which is certainly lamentable in coming from a member of the Executive. He quotes the reduction in the police department as "a success." Let mc inform Mr Duncan that at least ten of the best men in the force are simply waiting to see how the cat jumps, and whether the reduction will continue ; as if the latter is persisted in, they will resign in a body, and then where are we to find the province in trained and able guardians of the peace. Yours, &c, X.
