NELSON POLICE CHANGES.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PBKSS ASSOCIATION.] Nelson, Thursday. \ With respect to the police changes the , Acting-Premier and Minister for Justice/ have informed Mr. Graham, M.H.E., that.' the Government cannot grant the request for reconsideration, and that it would nob do to allow any interference with distributing the men now, as contending parties in! the force had been taking sides and working, in different directions, and thereby minimising the utility of the force. ~ 6ir / Joseph Ward states that he has had ho representations from private people at any time ira regard to the two constables who are asked to resign. It appears that the charges against them were of a very mild character, and that Commissioner Tunbridge inflicted mild "punishment, such as cautions and reprimands;, and in one case a fine of half-a-, crown. The Cabinet, however, made ail further order that these two constables; should be called upon to resign. There is a great deal of public feeling, and a strong demand for an open inquiry. The two con- ■ stables have declined to resign, and hare asked for reconsideration.
