ON TRIAL

TWENTY CONSTABLES

Twenty policemen are on the trial in the small Supreme Court today They are sitting at small tables, lookvery worried, frequently bite the ends of pens and pencils, and at intervals write as fast as they can. Their ranks in the Police Force are at stake. Whether they are to be sergeants, senior-sergeants, or sub-inspectors depends upon the result of a silent but nevertheless gruelling cross-examina-tion. It is the occasion of the police examinations, which will continue tomorrow, and, with some of the constables, on Thursday. Superintendent D.. C. Fraser looks on, with responsibility written across his countenance. He is presiding, but is not the judge and jury whose identify is unknown to those upon trial.

This morning the constables were v;i;iting out "evidence," this afternoon they were concerned with "prescribed Acts of Parliament," and tomorrow morning they will say what they know of "the Police • Regulations and Act." Tomorrow afternoon they will describe "Police and Detective Duties," and on Thursday a few will be questioned x'igorously about English, arithmetic, and geography. *
