Wjb are glad to find that in some cases at least—we would that they were more in number—it is only x'equisitc to make the complaints known through the medium of the Press, or otherwise, to ensure their being inquired into with a view to prevent their recurrence. We drew attention in our issue of Tuesday to the unnecessary severity with which, it is alleged, William Lomas was treated by the police on his trausitto Auckland as a defaulter in the matter of the /Education Bate. It is only fair to our local police force to say that the constable in charge was not of the Thames Police, having been sent down from Auckland tor the purpose. The officer in charge of the station, immediately on reading the article in question, inquired, as far as he was able, into the circumstances of the case, and the result has been entirely to exonerate the force here from any participation in the severity which took place on board the steamer.
