AUCKLAND POLICE.

A Word of Praise.

There is something distinctive about the Auckland police — a something too pronounced for doubt. How i&e -northern members of the regulation-step', brigade came to strip i the buttons off their uniforms and the* numbers, from their heir-, mets is a matter) of conjecture. In reality they, may not have done so, but m practice they base—thai is, m civility, consideration, courtesy, and conduct they fully realise what a P.U.s dirties are m relation to the general public, while their attitude towards tfae sqfcject m particular is highly commendable. It is extremely gratifying to say a word m favor of the police, as the opportunity — Hke ■Iftie bloom of the aloe — comes but once. The explanation of the existing state of affairs may be due to the fact tlhat the judicial district of Aacktand has been left much as the province has, to itself, by the" general Government, hence 13ie divisional head has had to work out its own destination — which it has done, without fear and trembling either.
