CONSTABLE GIVES DEFENCE EVIDENCE
Disagreeing with the evidence given by constables called by the prosecution another member of the police force gave evidence for the defence in a case heard before Mr, W. A. Harlow S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court at Invercargill on Friday. A constable was called as a witness bv the counsel for a man charged with being intoxicated while in charge of a motor-vehicle. The charge was dismissed. It was refreshing to know that under our system a police constable could appear in court and express his belief without fear, said the magistrate after the constable had given evidence.
