COMPLAINT AGAINST OFFICERS.
Two members OF the National Union of
United Brewery Workers sent in COM
munication complaining of the alleged
disgraceful conduct of Officer Tom Mat
thewsiand another officer whose name
they were unable to give. They allege
that the officers forcibly gained entrance
to Williams & Gerran's hall on the even
! ing of Jan. Ia and infringed upon the
rights of those present, upon the grounds
that they had heard that row was going
on when nothing of the kind had taken
place. The petitioners hoped that the
council would make an example of the
officers for trying to create disturbance
instead of preserving peace and order.
The mayors annual report was received
and filed and referred to the recorder for
publication.

the honor thrust upon him, and stated
