WHERE ARE THE POLICE ?
To the Editor. Sir, —Some time ago a very broad hint was thrown out by a correspondent as to the necessity of a constable being placed on duty in Stafford street, simply because a disreputable Jiouse existed in ihnt locality {and is still allowed to txislj, Must certainly a vigilant member of the force is required, both day and night, in the above-named street. Last night, on my way home, my attention was directed to a couple of beardless fellows (new chums), whose language (addressed to every female they met) was something more than disgusting. Being alone, remonstrance on my part would of course have had no effect on such people, and would most likely have resulted in maltreatment. Had there been a constable within hail I would at once have given them in charge. I think it a most disgraceful thing to say of Dunedin, that, in a thoroughfare like Stafford street, our wives and daughters cannot pass without being subjected to insult.—l am, &c., „ Decency. Dunedin, February 5.
