MR TUNBRIDGE'S RETIREMENT.
(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. MR Tunbridge, the retiring Police "Commissioner, and Mr Dinnie, his successor, returned from their Northern visit yesterday. Their voyage from Manukuu to NbW Plymouth iu the Waioui was a somtwhat rough one, and neither was sorry when terra firma was reached. Mr Tunbridge was asked for his opinion as to the phys'que, intelligetce and general conciuct of the police force in this colony. In reply, he said they compared very favourably when you consider that the conditions prevailing in the Old Country are entirely different to those in vogue iu New Zealand. This testimony should be satisfying to our colonial police force. Mr Tunbridge pointed out that the police in England were assigned certaiu duties which their colonial brethren were never culled upon to undertake, while, on the other haud, the latter performed special clasats of work, of which their English confreres had little or no knowledge.
