THE Police Report for 1892 is rather a notable offcial document. It is not voluminous-police reports seldom are,
but it is at least less bald than the report of 1881, and it sets forth a few facts which are worthy of consideration. A correspondent, writing recently about the stray dog question and the manner in which it was being dealt with by the police, indulged in something like a swooping dennnciation of the whole Force, and quoted the statement ofta gentleman who is admitted to know a great deal more about the police than anyone at present in the colony' which statement was to the effect that we would be better without all of them ex-
