(Cheers.) Eich man in this force has the
same epportunity of gaining respect amongst his friends
and comrades as I have had. If he will' do his duty in that

in which he is placed, he will obtain the esteem of
those who' are associated with him. (Hear, hear.) Mr.
Gregson then allude.] to his experience as chairnien of the
fire committee, to the efforts which he made to bring about
a thorough organisation, of that department of the service,
and to the valuable and practical aid which was rendered by
Mr. Hewitt. When appointed chairman of the watch
committee, he found that, from the admirable system which
had been adopted by Major Greig, with the advice and
assistance of Mr. Tobin, little remained for him
(Mr. Gregson) to do. (Hear, hear) He had always
found in Major Greig a perfect gentleman, and
ono always ready to listen to and to adopt the advice
and measures which were deemed bst for the force. He
(Mr. Gregson). believed that the Liverpool police was the
most efficient in the country ; and he had the greatest satis-
faction, during the last session of Parliament, to bear Sir
George Grey speak of it in terms of high commendation.
He hoped and trusted that the men would maintain the
character which they had so justly earned, and now that
they were about to be placed under the superintendance of
government, he hoped that Major Greig and the officers
would have the proud satisfaction of hearing that they were
model force of the country. Having clngratulated the

Major Greig, a superannuation fund had

tor officers grown old in the service, Mr. Gregson urged upon
the men the importance of individual good conduct and
self respect, as the best means of keeping up the high
character of the force as a body ; and, in conclusion, be
wished officers and men all health, happiness, and comfort.
He rearetted that he should have to say to them farewell.
Rathbone, on behalf of himself and brother magis-
trates, paid a hearty tribute to Mr. Gregson for the cordial
and hearty support which that gentleman had given to the
bench.
