CONSTABLE FINED
Resigned Without Express Authority (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH. Jan. 29. A police constable David Arthur Bowick, was fined £lO in the Magistrate’s Court to-day for resigning from the Police Force on December 31 without express authority from the Minister. Inspector Carroll, in evidence, said that Bowick tendered his resignation in November, as he had bought a business. He had been 13 years in the Force. The Minister had refused to accept the resignation. Since Bowick’s resignation had been received two other constables had been allowed to resign. Bowick in evidence said that a despicable act on the part of the police authorities when he was relieving constable at Woolston last year made him think the police had little further use for him. He started in business on January 1. Counsel for Bowick contended that the ruling of Mr Justice Fair in the Kilgour case in Auckland affected Bowick’s case but this view was not accepted by the Magistrate, who imposed a fine of £lO.
