An attempt is being made in this town to work up a sensation out of a very simple affair. A minister of religion said a word in season to a conshblo who, aocording to liis own admissions, had beon indiscreet, This word was a private communication which should have been regarded as such, The constable, however, appears to have gone to a newspaper man, related the conversation in an exaggerated form, finishing up by declaring that though ho took nips ho seldom did so. Clearly on his own unwise statement the constable has placed himself in au awkward dilemma, hut since the present Government came into office the police force has become so demoralised that it may, for all wo know to the con-, trary, he considered quite (he correct thing for an'offioer of the force to " ake nips."
