AN ABORTIVE INQUIRY.
WELLINGTON, February 17. Mr JTaseidcn, S.M., and Mr Boynton, Public Trustee, sat this morning as Commissioners to inquire into the charges made by a prisoner named Wilson against Warder Fj. Murphy, officer in charge of the Point Halsweil Gaol. At the outset Wilson began to read from a type-written document—apparently a claim that the inquiry should be into the whole gaol administration instead of merely to his own allegations. As the Commissioners refused to permit him to go ou unless he allowed them urst to scan the paper, Wilson refused to go further into the matter, and when called as a witness he declined to go on. Murphy was then examined in denial of the charges.
