Noticing in your paper lately some severe stric-
lures in relation 10 the new police, and believing,
Sir, that the facts have been misrepresented by In
terested parties, take the liberty OF correcting
few of the charges against the M. P.'s To begin
then with the charge that all the property taken
from thieves by the new police IS not forthcoming
when called for-the owners OF such property
should be advised that all such property can be
found at the Station House OF the new police, under
the Aims House, in the Park, the M P.'s taking
care never to trust said property In the neghbor
hood of the Tombs, tor there the owners would
have but sorry chance OF ever seeing IL again, IL
being there generally, in as bad hands as IT the
rogues were permitted to keep 1t, All the properly
which has so far been recovered from thieves, by
the new police, as / said before. can be found al
the Station House, under the Aims House. IN the
Park Again, as TO the mbecilily OF the Municl-
pal Police, will say they have 10 encounter all
kinds of annoyances from the old officers, and even
the Justices on the Bench, who seem TO be opposed
10 the new system. | will instance a Tact, which
will not only prove the truth OF what have Just sta
ted, but will also show the manner In which these
ocialsconnive at and assist in deirauding the pub
lie. Whenever one of the new police makes an
arrest, and takes the offender to the Tombs, the
committing magistrate rings bell, when out jumps
from one OF the private rooms OF the Jombs loat-
ing officer who leads the prisoner below, for which
ne gets fifty cents, which ne Is not entitled TO- BE-
form the duty without pay. Another tact, and
will finish. The new police are required, by the
ordinance, to arrest all persons found gambling tor
money; and, accordingly, one of the nj. P.'s dis
covered party in the act, and after arressing the
whole of the gamblers, and bringing them, imple-
nents, stakes, and all, to the police, the sitting
magistrate dismissed the whole party, and told the
NJ. p to go about his business also policy vend-
er, with his books, tickets, &c, was suffered to
escape in the same way. strongly suspect that
the police reporters of the city papers are some
what in the interest Of the old oang police, which
accounts for their never noticing the many arrests
made by the M. P.'s, except where they may be
able to throw rdcule by some accidental fatr pas
of new beginner. Fair play, if you please.
