THE POLICE COMMISSION.
(PRR3S ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM). ; DUNEDIN, March 18. The Police Commission resumed its sittings this morning. Inspector Pardy was again under examination. In reply to Mr Taylor, M.H.R., he stiid there was usually more perjury for the defence in licensing cases 'than in criminal cases. It was ridiculous to suppose that the consumption of drink had not decreased in Clutha since prohibition came. Mr J. A. Millar, M.H.R., claimed the right to be heard on the matter of political interference in connection with the police. The request was granted for to-morrow. Evidence was given by Constable Mulholland. He joined the force in 1874, and during that time had received only one promotion. Fifteen juniors had been promoted over his head. He thought he should have been made sergeant. Ex-Inspector Mallard then gave evidence, or rather gave his views on police organisation based on his experience.
