CRIME IN AUCKLAND.

Decrease of Trivial and Increase of Serious Offences.

The return o{ persons who have been accused of offences in the city of Auckland during 188fi has just been completed by the Ipolice officials, and discloses the remarkable fact that while there . has been a large decrease in the number of por soiis apprehended or summoned for trivial offences as compared with 18S5, there has been a considerable increase of crimes of a more serious character, i The total number of apprehensions and summonses during ISSG wcro- 21S18 -as against 2624 during 1885. Workers in the cause of temperance may take the flattering unction to their souls that their exertions during the year just ended hare not proved unavailing, there having been a most substantial decrease in the. apprehensions for the offence o( drunkenness. SIS persona were ar rested in ISSG, and 1022 during the previous year. . Of the drunks arrested last year 695 were inalcs and 223 females, while the sexual distribution in 1885 was 770 males and 212 females—a corollary on the truth of the assertion that has been often made that it is niuoh more easy to reclaim a man addicted to drink than a woman. -There has ■ also been a diminution in the apprehensions for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, the . respective numbers for the two years under ■ notice being 72 and 287. Assaults and breaches of the peace which are largely due to drunken- , ness were also less numerous in 1886 than in 1885, the respective numbers being 175 and 229. Under the now obsolete Contagious Diseases Act thero were 78 cases last year against 41 in 1885. Breaches of the Licensing Act also show a small increase, the respective number of cases being 37 against 22. * A remarkable decrease is shown in the returns

of breaches of tho Shipping and Seamen's Act, there being only 17 cases in 1886 against 83 in the previous year. Ot larceny pur et simple there was'a decrease, the numbers being 223 and 253 for 1888 and ISBS respectively. Breaches of by laws also show a diminution, tho numbers being 118 and 168; arrests of vagrants decreased from 179 to 118. Turning to breaches of the law that come under tho category of serious crimes there has unfortunately been a great increase. Ap prehensions for murder increased from 2 to 5; for arson from 2to 5; for larceny from the person, from nil to 13; and breaking aiid enter ing from 6to 27; forgery, from 9to 27. Indeed, on going down tho "damning catalogue of crime" there are Only three offences in which we find a decrease, viz., embezzlement, for which the arrests decreased from 7 to 2 ; in decent assaults from 0 to 3, and attempted rape from two to one. The returns before us have been most carefully prepared, and a word of commendation is due to the officers who hav*\ had the task of arranging this mass of figureo and making them intelligible.
