The Dunedin Gaol Inquiry.
[PEB UNITED PBESS ASSOCIATION.] Dunedin, This Day. The gaol inquiry was continued to-day, when Chaplain Torrens made grave charges implicating Mr Caldwell. He said that one night Warder Clarke came to him saying that he did not know whether he was doing right, but he felt ill at ease, because the prisoner Cummock (of Athenseum fire notoriety) was being illtreated, and some action should be taken. He promised the warder that he would call and see for himself Williams saw Cummock, who was in one of the darkest cells. He (<- ummock) said that for three night he had been made to lie in an open corridor, with asphaltej flooring, and had to sleep on the bare asphalte. The Commissioners visit the hulk at Port Chalmers, and sit again on Monday, when Mr Stout appears for Mr Caldwell.
