t&Our correspondence columns being i § partially open to all matters of publio interest, toe cannot be identified voitl the opinions therein expressed. Sir, — Will you kindly inform me if ib is the duty of the Police to arrest a man m the public highway if he is drunk, but still able to make his way home and interfering with and annoying no one. I don't see why such ajiould be run m. It does no good to any one, except making a show for bhe zeal of the police. This sort of thing bas been done m Auckland till ib has become matter of reproach to the Force and has had to be checked. There must be a line drawn somewhere, and it should be, not at drunk, but at drank and incapable or drunk and disorderly.—l am, ko., P.B. Hamilton West, August 27. [P. 8., or those perhaps with whom he sympathises, can easy mend matters by going home sober.— Ed W T.]
