INVERCARGILL.
DIMINUTION OF CRIME
[PER Press Association.l INVERCARGILL, Sept. 3.
In an article, “Crimeless Invercargill,” Mr. G. B. Nicholls quotes from the congratulatory addresses of Judges Cooper, Williams, Chapman, and Denniston, and shows that in the last three years and a-quarter only seven convictions have been recorded in the Supreme Court on matters that arose in Invercargill. Most of the eases were of a trivial nature, and two arose in Awarua district. The comparison with such places as Napier and Wanganui, with less population, is very marked. He concludes: “If the Government only give the people the chance by a national vote, on any * sort of equal terms, New Zealanders will assuredly sweep the drink traffic away at the 1911 .election.”
