Subscriptions to War Relief Funds. It has been decided to discontinue the deduction of monthly subscriptions towards the War Belief Funds from the pay of members of the Force, leaving members to donate their subscriptions to local funds if they so desire. No deductions will therefore be made after the current month. The Public Service War Relief Fund has been closed, and as many members of the Force have not been contributing, it is not considered advisable to continue the system of monthly deductions to form a separate police fund. J. Cullen, Commissioner of Police. Wellington, 24th December, 1915. Motor Regulation Act, 1908. In addition to the distinguishing letters and numerals* “ R.G.A.C. 1 to 500,” assigned to the Rangiora County Council under the Motor Regulation Act, 1908, the distinguishing letters “ R.G.,” and the numerals “1 to 500” have also been allotted. The list published in Police Gazette, 1915, page 557, is to be amended accordingly. (P. 14/868.)

Errata. In the return of prisoners tried and sentenced at Supreme Courts on page 832 of Police Gazette, 1915, Jessie McE wan is incorrectly shown as having been sentenced to one year’s labour. It should be one and a half year’s labour. In the same return on page 831, the name James Pitt is incorrect. It should be James Fitt. All copies of the Gazette are to be amended accordingly.
