Detective-Sergeant Cameron walked quietly up to a showman at one of the tents on the Wanganui Show grounds last week and told him to wipe the grease paint off and put on his coat, as the police department proposed to give him a free ride to Auckland to answer a charge of alleged theft. The showman evidently did not appreciate the little act of kindness on the part of the police officer, and remarked that it was most uncharitable. “There- were hundreds of good spenders on the grounds, and the police might have left him till the , show was over to catch some of their sugar.”
