The migration of criminals between the Australian States is engaging the attention of the New South Wales pplico authorities, and information has been re-, ceived by the Police. Department that the Victorian Government contemplates action with regard to the recent influx of criminals to the State from Sydney, Adelaide, and Brisbane. It is no secret at police headquarters (says the Sydney "Daily Telegraph") that the masked and armed men, who recent. Iy raided Mr. Couldery's residence at Elizabeth Bay, departed for Melbourne immediately after Judge Murray had passed a life sentence, on Alfred Smith, the Randwick armed burglar. On arrival in tho southern capital they engaged in their vocation until a bitter - quarrel, which occurred over the proceeds of a robbery, caused a split; two of tho men going to Adelaide. In addition to these men, three criminals, sentenced in Adelaido to terms of imprisonment for having been illegally at large, but the warrants for whoso cpmmitment were withheld fer a week in order,to give them an opportunity to leave the State, also wont to Melbourne, where they were seen by the police. A Queensland criminal, shunted out of that State, also went to Melbourne, while another is on his way there. The arrival of these men naturally perturbed tho Victorian police authorities, who have been asked by the Premier, Mr. Watt, to furnish a .report. It is stated that an appeal to a High Court is contemplated.
