MINISTER WILL INVESTIGATE.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received September 2, 11.20 a.m.) I SYDNEY, September 2. J Tiro Hou G. Black, referring to Or j Worrall's statement, declined to believe that there was ony systematic bribery among the police, who stood as high . in tho public estimation as any other force in tho world. Suspicion, however. was not permi table, and ho would fully investigate the matter. Dr Worrall explains that he did not intend to impugn the integrity of the Sydney polices, whom ho considered equal to any others in the world. What he advocated was the revoking of the portion of the Police Act making brothels illegal, because such provision had the effect of increasing venereal diseases and exposing the police to temptations, from which, they should be protected.
