Instructions as to Keeping Summons-books,

The Commissioner’s attention having been called to the want of uniformity in keeping the summons-books in the different districts, it is notified for general information and guidance that, for the future, the same rule is to be adopted in the department as regards these books as at present exists in the offices of the Resident Magistrates, and two process books will be kept at police-stations, one to be used exclusively for summonses belonging to the station in which the police of such station were complainants, the other for all summonses received at the station for service other than those entered in the first-mentioned book. By this system a correct record of all summonses received for service will bo kept, and the criminal statistics more easily compiled. A. llume, Commissioner of Police. Wellington, 20th February, 1891. (91/317.)
