MINISTER AND POLICE
CONSTABLE SMYTH’S APPEAL. Special to the “ Times.” AUCKLAND, June 15. The men of the Auckland city police staff are now in receipt of the text of the Horn A. L. Herdmau’s reply to their requests. It is somewhat more detailed than that announced from Wellington by telegraph, and intimates that the monthly allowance of 8s 4d for footwear, etc., will take effect as from April Ist. It also advises that fifteen minutes’ “ snack time ” will be allowed the men on night duty, and that overtime spent at the police court (for prosecution purposes) may bo allowed to accumulate till it reaches eight hours, when a day off will be allowed. Mr A. Rosser, organiser of the Police Association, has gone South, and it is expected that he would place some matters before the Minister in view of the appeal of Constable T. F. Smyth, of Greymouth, against his dismissal, on the ground that the punishment was disproportionate to the offence. An Auckland instance will probably be cited of • a constable who left his post some three hours before his time and filled in the book ahead to indicate that he had been at the station when he was not there. In that instance the punishment was a fine.
