We understand that on another the afternoon of Boxing scaxdaii, Day a quarrel arose over card-playing at tho Queen's Hotel, Masterton, and that a man named Heeney liad his jaw broken by a blow in the face, Heeney is now in tho. Masterton Hospital, and for some reason or anothor the affair seems to have been kept very quiet. Is card-playing a legal pastime in a licensed house, and if not wliv have the police taken 110 ; action in a matter of this kind. I Heeney has informed a member of our staff that when the quarrel took place lie was playing euchre for drinks, and as he had been interviewed on several occasions by the police lie lias probably given them the same information. Is it not the duty of tho police to lodge immediate informations when breaches of the law come under their notioo ?
