POLICE METHODS.
MR. JUSTICE EDWARDS SPEAKS HIS MINI). By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Monday. Mr. Justice Edwards indulged in some straight, talk when addressing the grand jury at the opening of the criminal sessions at Hamilton. Referring to a charge against two persons of having committed an indecent act in a public place at Itotorna, the Judge said Hie case should have been tried there and dealt with summarily. The magistrates should have insisted on dealing with the matter, though the police wore anxious to have it sent to the Supreme Court. The only suggestion was that the policeman was desirous of having a holiday, and came here with that intention. Perhaps lie would have preferred Auckland, and could have enjoyed the pleasure.''of the metropolis. It was monstrous that the public money of an already heavilv-taxed community should bo unnecessarily spent ill this way. , When the case came before the grand jury they returned a no bill.
