POLICE CONTROL.
To the Editor of the Thames Guardian. Sir.— Observing in your paper that the Superintendent and Executive have memorialised the General Government to get back the control over the police, in the Auckland province, I hasten to bring this forward to the notice of my fellow citizens for these reasons :—Should the Provincial Government get their demands, it means that the interests of the province will be sacrificed to serve the aims of a certain party, and to disorganise the Police Force after it has arrived at the satisfactory condition in which we find it at present. I hope that this will cause a countermovement to take place, thereby showing the General Government Jiat the people of this province as a whole do not require the proposed change, no matter how pleasing it might be to a clique. Believing that the inhabitants of this portion of the province are quite satisfied with the amount of power entrusted to the Provincial Government, —I am, &c\, Vox.
