From a .statement made by the Auckland police we learn that for some time pas^ there ■•■> has heen less crime and fewer offences of any i' kind than during many previous periods. 1 Highway robbery, burglary, theft, and* the higher class of police offences are now very rare. The detectives at present hold sinecures. There are very few "wanted,"' and there is not very much demand made upon them for ' ' looking tip cases. " . "Whether the police as conservators of public order are, to be cqraplimented, or whether we have only now returned to our normal state of."" inoffensiveness, it is not r worth while ep« quiring into ; but it is extremely satisfactory to beinforaned of the present state of things from a police point of view.
