A CASE FOR RECOGNITION.
XO THK EDITOB. Sib,—Since reading the account of the Sower-stealing case in the Ootagon in your last Saturday'a issue, I have been patiently waiting to see what recognition the constable would receive for his plucky behaviour in arresting these midnight robbers. Seeing that no notice has been taken of the affair, I presume the matter has been allowed to drop. Now, Mr Editor, I think it is a case for publio recognition, and that you will agree with me that the arresting constable showed great pluck and attention to duty in tackling these men unaided, and in successfully convey • ing them to the watch-house. It would have been an easy matter for the constable to have winked at the offence, and the least that oan be done is for the Conservation Society or the powers that be to take the matter in hand, and bo encourage the police to keep a watohful eye on our public reserves. Hoping some abler pen than mine will take this matter up—l am, etc., Sundowner.
Dunedin, March 11. P.S.— I am not in any way acquainted with Constable Cooney, but at the same time I trust that his gallant conduct will be appreciated.—S.
