PENALTY REDUCED
FINE ON E.P.S. MEMBER DISCIPLINARY BREACH (P.A). CHRISTCHURCH, this day. The chairman of .the Christchurch Central E.P.S. Cornmittee, Mr. E. H. Andrews, yesterday held what is believed to be the first inquiry in New Zealand into a penalty imposed by an E.P.S. controller on a member of his unit for a serious breach of discipline under .the powers; given in the conditions to service order. Mr. Andrews reduced the penalty from the maximum of £2 to £l. The nature of the inquiry that a chairman is required to make into .the penalties is not defined and Mr. Andrews had no precedent to guide him. He conducted the inquiry personally and took evidence on oath. He ruled that the charge was proved.
