Force altogether clear of this kind of duty takes the first place. This neces sity is and always has been regarded na one of the continal points of a Police Officer's creed ; and so much is this sup used to lie at the foundation of all dis cipline amongst the members of the Force, that the most stringent rules exist in respect to this matter, the ap plication of which is said to be of the most rigid kind possible. Notwithstand ing these facts, however, it is surprising that the Head of the Executive shonlå express such a desire and one besi tates to believe that this question of all questions should be put forward as an act of so-called administration. There 18, nevertheless, little doubt but that some proposition of the kind was made, as the little bird' before alluded to bas given us to understand that some lively passages of arms took place be- tween the Government and the Captain Superintendent of Police upon the sub- jest.

Mr C. V.

Although I consider the Inspectors of Police as a body very superior to the Inspectors of Brothels, there are very few Inspectors of Police whom I would trust with this work.
It is not a post which any of our Inspectors would take they look down on the pest." Captain Deane also gave evidence upon this point, as fol- lows:-"I should object to its being made a part of the duty of the general Police to enforce the Contagious Dis
