NATIVE POLICE. — A little corps of 12 native
police, under the command of the veteran Cusack, left town
yesterday for the Port, there to embark on board the Govern
ment schooner Yatala for Port Lincoln, where, it is con-
fidently expected, they will be most usefully employed in
the protection of the settlers in that district. The success
which has attended the employment of a similar force in
New South Wales and Victoria, warrants the expectation of
equally satisfactory results for this new and auspicious
attempt at amelioration in a quarter which teems to have
been neglected.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY —
Yesterday monrng, between 1 and 2 o'clock, James Wil
liams, a farmer, living at Nairne, who has been stopping
during the races at the Stag Inn, Rundlj street, was re
turning from a short visit to 'a small private house' in
Light-square, near the Billy Barlow, when lie was followed
and attacked by two men who had been with him in the
' small private house.' They held him, and tried to pot
their hands in his pockets ; but exerting all hia j eomanly
strength, he shook them off, then told his tale to a Police
man,, who succeeded in catching one of them] The prisoner,
who calls himself John Davidson, stonemason, was brought
before Mr. Wigley, and remanded for a week. ? ??' ''
