THE POLICE COMMISSION.
DISCHARGED PRISONERS.
Per Press Association.
WELLINGTON, Sept. 14. The Police Commission resumed this morning. Constable Simpson controverted the statements of Mr. Arnold, M.P., regarding the conduct of members of the force in Wellington. Mr. Edwin Arnold, a visiting justice to the Wellington Gaol, said, speaking with years or experience, he did not know of a single policeman who had ever harassed an ex-inmate of the gaol. Replying to a question, he admitted he had known of ex-prisoners being dismissed from employment without being able to ascertain the reason. As far as he knew, the police of Wellington were a very fine, honourable body of men. Conflicting evidence was given by two or three witnesses concerning the quality of the physique of the present applicants compared with that of their predecessors years ago. Sergeant Miller. Masterton. said he had received assistance from Inspector Ellison in enforcing the licensing la^v's.
