CRIME IN AUCKLAND.
NEED FOR MORE POtICE
Auckland, April 2. The need for more . police on the Auckland staff was a subject on which Inspector Cullen enlarged in Ins lagt departmental report? but so far there appears to be no immediate intention cf increusing the staff in the city ard suburbs, "though the inspector urged the point strongly and on adequate grounds. There is no doubt that the community is not adequately policed. Beyond the .inspector s, report to that effect there is very strong corroborative evidence of offences committed, in connectihn with which no arrest has been made. To mention some of the more recent of these one may recall the cases of a nude infant* found (not drowned) in the harbour a few weeks back, two assaults committed on women at night in t be vieinity of Ensom and Newmarket, two burglaries at Ponsonby, an assault on a man the other day in a city hotel, the assault a week back cii Dr. Moir, and at least one death, at an inquest on «bicn the. verdict was manslaughter against some person or persons unknown.”.
