CLIPPED BY A POLICEMAN.
A WELLINGTON INCIDENT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Aug. 4. Some days ago it was reported that a man had been clipped by a policeman in the street for refusing to move on, and though taken to the station, no charge was preferred against him. The man complained of unnecessary rough usage, and the matter was referred to in Parliament. It is now stated the constable had paid pecuniary compensation and guaranteed medical expenses, but the settlement was without prejudice to any departmental inquiry that may be held.
