Tho bulletin reviews tho many acts OF
lawleasncss committed by tho police
within the last few months. tho ARRAY
on Royal street. the killing Of Detective
Harris and the recent airray on ~.
Charles street. in which tho Suporin-
tendent Of Police himself was in
volvod. It says that one Of the
most potent causes Of tho inolIl-
cheney of tho police Is continuous
and growing dissension between the
factions Of tho force. resulting occa-

justly proclaimed thieves and usurpers
by the Conservatives, and asserts that
this was done without much opposition
from tho Conservative caucus, and
draws the conclusion that declarations
