Constable Patrick Quinn, in charge of the Waitotara district, was born and educated in Ireland, and arrived in this Colony, in Port Chalmers, in the early days of the goldfields. Soon after his arrival he entered the police in Dunedin, and was for several years stationed in the goldfields of Otago. He was then removed to Hokitika, and thence to Greymouth, where he passed a dozen years or more. Since being in the North Island, constable Quinn has been located at Palmerston North, and from thence he was removed to Waitotara. He is attentive to his charge, and universally respected.
