Police Reform.
•£U TitE KDITOB. Sib,— -Your corespondent, " Bull's-eye," referring to the eubject of plurality of bars in hotels, does not attach any importance to the definition of the word " bar/' as applied to hotels. I believe that in a case tried some time since in Dunedin (Wain's Hotel), it was decided that " bar" meant a place where liquor was sold, the entrance to which abutted on a public thoroughfare and that rooms in the hotel proper which have been designated '•bars" by your correspondent are not bars in a legal sense and do not come within the provision in the license, viz :— " one bar and no more."— l think " Bull'seye's threat to stir up a cesspool is an occupation he seems more suited for than filling your columns with bitter attacks over a'.nom de plume upon men whom be must know have not the right to reply.— I am, Ac, A VISITOR.
