THE ROYAL IRISH CONSTABULARY.
To tM Editor. ] Sir,—la one of the lecals ia Ihe • Daily Tunes', of this morning there is a sneering allusion to the Irish as policemen. That the writer should exhibit such bad taste and bad spirit is a melancholy proof that some of the seedlings of bigotry still continue to encum* ber the earth in New Zealand. I regard this and every occurrence of the kind as very humiliating and vindictive, and having had the distinguished honor of serving in the Royal Irish Constabulary many years ago, and still being proud of that gallant body of men, I subjoin a copy of the certificate of the Inspector. General of the Police in Great Britain when inspecting the Glasgow Police a few months ago:—"The Irish Constabulary are the nnest force in the world; Glasgow the next." Oomraent is needless.—l am, &c.>
