NEWSPAPER EXTRACT
QUESTION OF PUNCTUATION The punctuation of the telegraphed extract from Farming First, which formed the basis of the action taken by the Commissioner of Police, Mr. W. G. Wohlmann, against tho editor, Mr. A. E. Robinson, in Wellington last week differed from tho original. The extract as it appeared in Farming First was as follows: —"The men caught at le Aroha were not poor men. 1 hey were owners of race horses, members of racing clnhs, etc. A Minister of the Crown was in tho room. Hence the decision of the Commissioner of Police not to prosecute, wo have no doubt whatever. But no laws worth keeping will ever be passed whilst Ministers of the Crown assist in breaking them and are shielded in doing so by the machinery of justice.'"
