Total increase • • •

The figures for the year 1917 showed a decrease on those for 1916 of 1(1,218 cases, but this year's Appendix A,figures show an increase of 5,232 in the number of cases proceeded against by the Police over 1917.Attention is invited to the details.and chart appearing in Appendix A.

With regard to the total number of more serious classes of offences recorded in the Police Ca.:ellethe figures show an increase of one case, as compared with 1917 (details are included in Appendix 13). Thedecrease in 1917, as compared with the previous year, WaS 1,077.

An analysis of the figures in tins Appendix goes to show that increases took place under the follow-ing headings :—Manslaughter, 3 ; rape and attempts, 5; carnally knowing and criminal assaults, &c., onyoung girls, 6 ; indecent assaults on women, 8 ; robbery, being armed, 2; mail robberies, 15 ; unnaturaloffences, 6; stealing from the person, 37 ; bigamy, 3 ; forgery and uttering, larceny and general frauds, 85embezzlement, 30 ; burglaries and stealing from premises, 108; horses stolen, 8 ; sheep stealing, -19 ; andstock maliciously killed, 7.

Of these increases, the stealing of registered mail bags with contents, and also other general mailmatter, whilst in transit by post, chiefly from the railway mail vans, may be regarded as one of the mostserious. The police and railway authorities have made special efforts to guard against this class of theft,with favourable results, as during the latter portion of the year few cases were reported. The increase inreports of stealing from the person again includes many reports of handbags stolen containing triflingamounts, but the total (157), with the exception of 1917, compares favourably with the number of casesreported in previous years. The same remarks apply to the increases shown in. burglaries, Am., andembezzlement reports. From the increased number of reports received regarding sheep stealing, it wouldalso appear that this class of crime has been more prevalent, but it must be taken into account that, inJnany instances, the sheep have been found either dead or straying.

Important Criminal Cases.The following murder cases dealt with (luring the year inay, perhaps, be specially mentioned,

viz, :—The murder of a little girl two months of age, an adopted child, by her mother. The child was

left on the sands near the water's edge, at Maroubra Beach, but was found shortly after by a fishermanin the breakers. She was then alive, but died on the foll(iwing morning from the effects of the immersion.The offender was arrested some days later. (old, after making a full confession, was committed for trial ona charge of wilful murder, found guilty of manslaughter, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

The murder of a man by his wife at Middle Arm, near Goulburn ; in this case the gunshot woundcausing death was believed to have been accidental. Subsequent evidence.mainly from their own childien,led to the arrest and committal of the mother on a charge of wilful murder. She was later found guiltyof manslaughter and sentenced to twelve months hard labour.

Important Arrests, etc.

The following cases may, perhaps, be mentioned :—The bailing up of the night-watchman at the Government Tramway Depot, Manly, by four ma.sked

men, one of whom was armed ; in effecting an entry into the Depot Office they started the burglar alarmand hurriedly left without carrying Out their purpose. An old offender was arrested in connection withthe matter, but was subsequently acquitted.

The theft of a registered mail bag, in transit from Sydney to Brewarrina, containing bank notes tothe value of £1,600 ; a reward of £500 was offered by the Postmaster General in this case, but no arresthas yet been made.

The escape of a prisoner under sentence of ten years' penal servitude, by jumping from a movingtrain near Strathfield ; a Government reward of £100 was later offered, and the escapee's re-arresteffected, the prisoner receiving a further term of six months' hard labour for the escape.

The robbery of £100 from a deposit n. at the Pitt and Bathurst streets branch of the English,Scottish, and Australian Bank, Ltd., by a man who partially blinded the depositor and the bank officer bydashing a bag of cornflour into their eyes and then snatched the notes and decamped. Although an arrestwas made and a man committed for trial, he was subsequently acquitted.

The mysterious disappearance of David Joel ; this man arrived at Wentworth Falls with his wifeand was later seen proceeding on foot towards Lawson. A few days later Mrs. Joel was found on theBurragorang Road, seven miles distant, in a comatose condition, and she died shortly after her removal toPenrith Hospital, without giving any particulars regarding herself or Joel, who has not since been heardof and who, it is presumed, fell into some inaccessible gully and was killed. •

The theft of 211 ,r1 bank notes from the William and Duke streets branch of the English,Scottish, and Australian Bank, Ltd., by a man who, whilst sending the teller upon an enquiry,jumped on to the counter and escaped with the notes; so far no arrest has been irmAr.

The theft of a motor car containing jewellery valued at £700; the car was recovered on the same•day without the jewellery. Two men were subsequently arrested and the greater part of the jewelleryrecovered.

Criminal Statistics for the Metropolitan District.During the year 26,253 persons were arrested and 5,427 proceeded against by summcms, making a

total of 31,680 (5,269 being females) as compared with 75,929 cases dealt with throughout the wholeState. Last year a total number of 29,329 metropolitan cases were dealt with. This year's figures,therefore, show an increase of 2,351 on the previous year. The total number of cases dealt with by themetropolitan police under the different headings are as follow :-

Totals ...! 30,410 30,508 29,329 31,680 ; Increase, 2,351

It will be seen that an increase took place under each heading. This may be explained as follows :-Offences against the person.-Due to marked increase in such crimes as assaulting, resisting, or

obstructing the police.Offences against property with violence.-Due to a larger number of cases of breaking and entering

with intent to steal, and an increase in the number of cases of malicious injury to property.Offences against property without violence.-Accounted for by an increase of 646 cases of simple

larceny, also increases in the number of cases of false pretences, having possession of suspected stolenproperty, stealing in company, and horse-stealing.

Forgery and offences against the currency.-With regard to this increase of 3, it might be statedthat there was a decrease of 14 in offences of this nature in 1917 over the previous year. It is gratifyingthat the number of cases during the past year is not in excess of that for previous years in regard tothese serious offences.

Offences against good order.-The principal increases under this heading are 493 in the number ofcases of drunkenness; 40 in riotous or indecent behaviour ; 23, suspected persons ; 53, gambling ; and183, in other offences against Police Acts.

On the other hand there were 143 less cases of obscene, abusive, and threatening Ja.nguage, and 51fewer cases of drunkenness with disorderly conduct. The marked increase in cases of drunkenness isattributed to the operations of sly-grog sellers, to the fact that large quantities of liquor are consumedimmediately prior to closing time, and to the more efficient inspection of haunts of drunken habituoirendered possible by the use of the police patrol motor. Notwithstanding the increased number of casesof drunkenness in the Metropolitan District, the figures for the whole State show a decrease of 198 cases.

Offences not included in the preceding.-There has been an additional number of charges under theMetropolitan Traffic Act, Motor Traffic Act, Games, Wagers, and Betting Houses Act, and Liquor Act.Against these increases there are marked decreases in such charges as Lunacy, Absent without Leave fromShip, and not complying with Maintenance Order.

During the year, 5,987 crimes were reported as against 5,296 for the previous year. Of thenumber (5,987), 3,827 were c`eaml up. Oat of 4,159 cases of simple larceny, 2,655 were cleared up.

Missing Frien /s.As in previous years, a large number of inquiries have been received relating to missing friends

and it is satisfactory to note that 900 persons have been traced by the police.Finger

Water Police.Considerable work has been performed by the Water Police at Sydney and Newcastle consequent

upon the arrival and departure of vessels and troopships, the ferry traffic and the work of registeringaliens arriving front overseas. Police launches were also instrumental in rescuing the crews of fourteencapsized sailing boats. Thirty-three dead bodies were recovered from Sydney Harbour and other sources.

Metropolitan Licensing Inspection.On the 31st December, 1918, there were 612 hotels in the Metropolitan District, a decrease of

sixteen during the year, these being removed from the district through the alterations in the boundaries.Seven objections to the renewal of Publicans' Licenses were lodged by the Police, with the result

that four of the renewals were granted, one refused, and two withdrawn.The number of additional bars has decreased by three during the year, registered clubs by four, spirit

merchants' licenses by two, c: dot wine licenses by seven, ;tial billiard licenses by eighteen, whilst thenumber of packet and brewers' licenses remains the same.

Police Motor Vehicles and Cost of running Cars.The Patrol Motor in Sydney and Motor Cycles in the Metropolitan and CJuntry Districts have

been extensively used, the latter being found of great value as a means of traffic regulation as well as forgeneral police duty. Mounted recruits for service in country districts are now being specially trained inthe riding and management of motor cycles.

During the year the cost of running the motor cars and motor cycles used by the Departmentamounted to £2,411 12s. 4d. The number of miles driven was 139,082, at an average cost of 7.32d. permile for motor cars and 1.59d. per mile for motor cycles.

General Work of the Department.

During the year a considerable volume of work has been undertaken by the police on behalf of the Additionalmilitary authorities. Numerous inquiries have been made regarding the character and movements of duties 'suspected enemy subjects and aliens, and in regard to allotments of pay, &c.

The registration and supervision of aliens by the Police are still maintained, and a number of police Registration ofhave been withdrawn from other important duties to carry out this work.^ aliens.

The totalisator betting machines, which have been installed on all the city and suburban racecourses Totalisators.and at many country centres, have materially increased the work and responsibility of the Police.

The Police Surgeon reports that the marked increase in the numbers on the sick report during the Health of police.year, as compared with 1917, is to be almost entirely attributed to the severe epidemic of influenza prevail-ing in the spring.

It is satisfactory to note that although several industrial disturbances took place during the year, Industrialut t rliattees.in indst instances they were comparatively unimportant and of short duration.

In certain cases, approval has been given for police, who are unable to avail themselves of excursion Privileges forprivileges at holiday seasons, when proceeding on annual leave to Sydney or distant parts of the State, tobe refundedrefunded the difference between ordinary and excursion rail, steamer, or coach fares. This privilege is leave.much appreciated by members of the force on remote stations, who have hitherto been precluded fromtaking for themselves and families the full benefit of their leave by reason of the high cost of travelling.

Up to the end of the year, the number of police who had enlisted amounted to 212, and 8 clerical men on activeofficers, making a total of 226. Prom the records at present available the following distinctions have been "r"”.gained by police :—

Appendix G.

Establishment .On the 31st December, 1918, the Force numbered 2,321, as against 2,596 at end of 1917. Details

of the strength of the Force and the manner in which the Police are distributed throughout the Stateare furnished in Appendix G. At the end of the year, consequent upon the absence of 69 men on militaryduty, and 319 vacancies for which suitable applicants could not be secured, the Force was 388 short ofits authorised strength, and, in order to in sonic measure supplement the efforts of the Police, the approvalof the Government was obtained for the temporary appointment of a number of special constables.

Appointments, &c.During the year, 537 applications for police employment were received-301 were rejected for

various reasons; 108 were rejected by the Police Surgeon ; 87 appointed ; and 11 did not proceed withtheir applications.

The following figures show the manner in which vacancies arose, viz. :—To fill vacancies caused by resignations^•••^...^•••^•••^...^50

The strength of Hillgrove (Northern District) Police was reduced by one foot constable ; Young(Southern District) by one mounted and one foot constable; Gmilburn (Southern District) by two footconstables.

Police B itildings.I regiet to have to bring under notice th3 state of disrepair into which existing Police buildings

are falling, and the additional exp3nditure which is each year Ining involved, by reason of the fact thatrented •

1 1

7rented premises have to be secured in centres where new buildings and sites for Police purposes arerequired, or where the existing Police buildings are no longer habitable. In instances in which repairsare allowed to remain in abeyance owing to the lack of funds, the buildings soon become seriouslydepreciated in value, and the cost of effecting repairs ultimately is very considerably increased. iEn s pc, mr.Estimates obtained at the beginning of the financial year showed that an amount of over £142,000 x1 tn r ewould be required to secure new buildings and sites and effect additions and repairs. During lastfinancial year the sum of £12,367 only was expended from amounts voted on the Estimates to meet theserequirements, and during the present financial year only £10,793 has been expended to date The totalamount at present being paid for rented premises amounts tc over £6,000, and this amount has each yearto be increased owing to the absence of suitable premises.

Forage.The expenditure on forage during 1918 exceeded that of the previous year by over £2,000. This

is attributable to the high price of forage in consequence of the extended dry periods.List of Stations Visited during 1918.

During the year I have visited the following districts and stations :—Collarenebri,^Tumbulguro,^ Casino,Murwillumbah,^Lismore,^ Wilson's Downfall,Bangalow,^leads Creek,^ K ook a book ra ,Woodenlsnig,^Glen Dines,^ Delungra,Deepwater,^Inverell,^ Bullarah,Tingha,^ Pallamallawa,^Walcha ltoad,Gravesend,^Bellata,^ Hinton,Terry Hie Hie,^Raymond Terrace,^Bulladelah,Waratall,^Tea Gardens,^ Copeland,Stroud,^ Forster,^ Lochinvar,Nabiac,^ Paterson,^ Muswellbrook,Dungog,^ Singleton^ Noonan Flat,Branxton,^Scone,^ Walcha,Aberdeen,^Weabonga.^ Guy Fawkes,Nundle,^ Hillgrove,^ Gladstone,Armidale (2),^Kempsey,^ Port Macquarie,
