MELBOURNE CRIME.
SHOOTING OF DETECTIVE SUPERINTENDENT. CABINET LIKELY TO ORDER INQUIRY. (Received This Day, 1 a.m.) MELBOURNE, May 27. It is practically certain that the State Cabinet will appoint a Royal Commission to enquire into the shooting of Detective-Superinfendent Brophy reported a few days ago to have been shot and seriously wounded by gangsters, and possibly into the administration of the Police Department. Ministers are dissatisfied with the conflicting stories attending Mr. Brophy’s injuries and the attitude of the Comnjissioner, Sir Thomas Blarney.
