ivlice Inspection

"ue members of the Police Force, with exception of Sergeant McGonnell, who Ht duty owime to illness, were inspected by His Honor the Stipendiary Mayistrate iis forenoon. There were present in the Courtroom, where the inspection was held, Messrs. S. W. Crabbe, W. A. Weeks, Geo. FE. Full and Donald Farquharson, (the Ex- utive Committee of the Temperance Alli- ‘) and representatives of THe EXaMINER and Patriot. After the men had been drawn up in line, and some information had en obtained as to the state of their winter wardrobes, His Honor proceeded with his charge, of which the following is a sum- harry ‘ Officers, I now propose addressing you more particularly in the matter of your duty in Scott Act prosecutions. I have been told that you are not doing your duty

in these cases as well as you should or could. Itis not forme just now to say how much truth there is in these state-

Che fact, however, remains that there are still several unexecuted warrants against persons charged with yiolation ot the Scott Act, which have been in your possession for some considerable time. | would like to know why such is the case. The fact of these warrants not being executed 18 not at all ereditable to your intelligence. You are yery prompt and careful about the executing of warrants against persons guilty of an in- fraction of any other criminal law; and I vannot understand why there should be any exuse for complaint concerning your con- duct in Seott Act cases. Another ground of

»nplaint is that you de not lay information viglators of the Scott Act. But only some eight or nine informatians haye been laid by you since the year came in. Now we are to have the Scott Act for the next three years at least,and it must be enforced, { do net wish to be harsh with you, but I must let you know right here and now, in the presence of these gentlemen, that I will not keep any man vn the force who will not do his very best to enferco every criminal law on the statutes. fhe Scott Act must be properly enforced by the police of this city. It is said you have a strong feel- ing in the matter of laying informations un- der the Scott Act. You do not care to do so, Why you should draw the line between prosecuting violators of the Scott Act and violators of any other criminal law I do not understand. We want trained men to en- force the Scott_Act, and you men asa result of long service on the force and a consequent knowledge of places and nen not possessed uv others, shqulg he just the nyen tu enforce this law, | cannat expect that assistance from new men which you oan give | do not know whether Mr. Henderson gets any information from you or not; he tella me he gets some. Ll know itis now going to be more ditlicult to enforce the Scott Act in the future than in the past. Those who are now engaged in the illicit selling of liquors have been driven to the wall and wil leaye yo stone unturned to evade and defy the law. Now I want you to use your knowledge of back doors, dens, etc., to the fullest extent, so that we may he enabled the better to enforce the Act. If you do not do this ] must get some policemen who will do it. There isthe case of the girl who lives opposite the police station, upon whom you cannot serve a summons. I cannot understand why mex who have been on the force so lung as the most of you have, should not be possessed of sufficient detective ability to serve a summohs upon agirl who lives at your very door, | expget, ig fact insist, upon y yur tuking the Seatt Act and attending to its enforcement with the same zeal you dis- play in the matter of the infringement of other criminal laws. J, as head of the force, am held responsible for your actions, and am gving to see that you do your work efficiently and wel), Since the beginning

ments

aZalnst

of 1886 we have had agreat number of warrants out, and the police have done very well; but as I be-

fore remarked some few are still out which have not been served. The whole matter of it is the law becomes a farce if after final judgment the [warrant js wot executed. If. after conviction, warrants of arrest cannot be executed, your usefulnessand mine alsois gone. Now, you are on trial for the next three years, beginning work over again, 80 to speak. We shall see what you can do. With your past experience you should be able to do much. have complained to the Marshal that he does not give me in- formation about the police. His neglect in this matter will sooner or later jead to his dismissal. He will not let me know the goings on among the police. He will not tell me about the drunkenness among the members af the force. People outside inform me that the policemen go to places where liquor is illjcitly sold, and are often, while on duty, under the in- fiuence of liquor. Now, to get at the bot- tom of this matter, I propose asking you individually if such is the case. I will commence with the Marshal.

‘Marshal, do you know of any drunken- ness on the part of any member of the force ¢”

‘‘T have not seen anything that | could report dyring the {last six moaths "

‘‘Do you know of any policeman being in any place where liquor is illegally sold ?”

‘I donot. There might, however, be some little drunkenness on the farce, and | not know about “,”

‘* Well, Sergeant Cameron, what do you know about this drunkenness on the force?”

‘Il don’t know anything about the others, but speaking for Bradley and Tay- lor, who are associated with me, I may say that [ do not know of any.”

‘* Now, Officer Taylor, what answer have you to make concerning drunkenness on the force /”

‘f have ta state that Ido not know of any, neither do I know of any policemen drinking in places where liquor is sold.”

‘And you, Bradley?”

'*[ do not know of any drunkenness in the last six months.”

‘* Now, Costello, what have you to say. D» you know of drunkenness on the part of any member of the force?”

‘*Your Honor had better Doyle first.”

‘Answer my question, sir. Doyle can speak for himself when his turn comes.”

‘ Now, do you know of drankenness on the part of any member of the force ?”’

‘* Yes, I do,” after considerable hesita- tion.

** Who is the offender ”

** Sergeant McGonnell.”’

‘Anyone elge 7?”

‘‘None other for several mouths, not since McGonvell and Doyle were suvpent-

ask Officer

ie a al ani

tt tana apne ts honeit

®l and fined. but cannot say for certain.

** What about the Marshal ? seen him drunk ?”

‘Well, lcaunet say I have seen him drunk, but I have seen him ouce pretty well on at the station.’ :

‘** When was this /”

‘** Your Honor, excuse me, but tell all ?”

_* Certainly, why do you ask that ques- tion /”’

** And [ am the same as on my oath?”

‘** Yes, sir.”

‘** Well, if I must tell, it was about two months ago, perhaps a little more. It was during the warm weather.”

‘* Was it in the day or night ?”

‘** In the night.”

** Was he very drunk ?” ;

‘He had a good drop in, but I don’t know what he drank.”

‘** Who else were inthe station on tlie hight in question /” _

‘Officer Doyle and John Ellis were there.”

‘* How long did the Marshal remain ?”

“Until about twelve o'clock. He was chatting in and about the station.”

** Was he unfit for duty ?”

** 1 do not think he was.”

‘“Do you know of any other occasion when he was under the influence of liquor a

“sl do not, but I have beard it talked around about throvgh the force that the Marshal drank.”

** Who did you hear talking like this ?”

‘“*T have heard Harris talk in this way hoth before his dismissal and since his be- ing appointed special, Others apoke about it, but none sa much as Harris,”

** Do you know anything about MeGon- nell’s visiting places where liquor is illicitly sold!”

‘Tt have been on duty with him and saw him go into these places.”

** Did you ever go into Gillis’ with him ?”

“I never did ; I don’t drink any myself, nor have | for some years before I came on the force.”

** And about Doyle ?”

** I never saw a sign of liquor on Doyle since he was fined over a year ago.”’

‘** Did you ever see him go into where liquor is sold ?”

‘** [never did; and, as I said before, I do not know of his drinking liquor since he was fined.”

** Well, Doyle, what do you know about drunkenness on the force 7?”

‘* 1 do ‘not know ai any drunkenness. 1 might haye seen the men mentioned by Costello in liquor, but none the worse ; they could do duty as well as I could. They had just taken enough to make its effect visible,”

‘** Did you ever see McGonnell that way on duty f’

‘*Yes, | have seen him in that state while on duty.”

** Have you seen him jg a more adyanced stage?”

** No, I never saw him worse than that since he was suspended about six months ago.

‘* Haye you seen McGonnell go into places where liquor is sold ?”

**T have; but do not know that he went in to purchase liquor.”

** Do you not know asa matter of fact that he went in for liquor ?”

‘IT do not. He weuld tell he was going in for a razor, to see a man, or make some other excuse.”

** Did you ever see him go into Gillis’?

‘Yes, [ have seen him go into the barber shop, but never any further. I saw him go inte the barber shop about three or four times.

‘*Did you not know when these yisits were made, that tha warrant for Gillis was in the station for execution ? ”

‘*I did. I have not seen Gillis since the warrant was issued, and have no reason to believe that Gillis was inside when McGon- nell went in.”’

‘*How would McGonnell act when he went in?”

**T don’t know. barber shop door.”

‘Do you kiow of any drunkenness among the other members of the force ?”

‘*] do nat. The night that Costello says the Marshal was drunk, all that I noticed about him was that he was talking loud outside the door. He did not stagger. nor show any other symptoms of drunkenness.”

‘* What was there about him which at- tracted your attention /”

** Officer Costella called my attention to him, remarking that ‘the Marshal hada drop in to-night.’”

‘* What did you do then?”

‘*T went to the door and looked after him. | did not see him stagger when walking.”

‘* What was your opinion about him ?’

‘¢ Well, | thought he might have had a drap in, but couid net notice it much. Never saw him the same on any. other oc- casion.”’

‘* Did you see any others drunk ?”

** None but those already mentioned.”

‘*It is said,” remarked His Honor, ‘‘that there is an understanding hetween the liquor sellers and tije policemea, which apovedie the éxecutingof these warrants,and that there are other reasons why these warrants, especially the one against P, P. Gillis unexecuted for ovey year, have not been executed.”

Each man was asked in turn if he knew of any cause or reason why these warrants had not been executed. All answered “no.” Some of them explained how they had attempted to exe- cute these warrants, all saying that they had done all they could.

‘*Now Doyle and Costello,” said the Magistrate, ‘‘ How was it that you, knowing that a warrant was in the station for Gillis’ arrest and a summons to serve on a person in his employ, did not tell the Marshal that McGonnel] had gone in and left you standing outside ?”

‘* Well,” replied Costello, **it does not do, among 4 lot of mea like this, to tell all one knows, as the person telling is likely to be looked upon as & pimp and a spy.”

The Magistrate reproved him sharply and said that this was no; time for sentiment, and remarked that the ugliest part of the whole business was tbe fact that while the officers held warrants for execution against Gillis, one of them had been going in and out, and that this was known to ethers of the force and not reported.

After some further proceedings, which yeither time nor space will admit of our noticing to-day, the men salaamed, the Committee expressed themselves as thor- oughly satisfied with the examination, and the ordeal was over,

A choice programme had been provided by Mr. Haw- ley, the organist of the Church, and the same was rendered in a very creditable manner, The cheir sang an opening anthem, showing a marked improvementover previous efforts. The vocal galog by Miss Hughes and Miss Cuprie were well received, Mr. Hawley gave a piano sulo, and with Miss Fraser played twa piano duets, the ‘*‘ Mocking Bird” receiving an encore, which was. responded te acceptably. Readings from Miss Laura Scott and~ Mr, Peterson completed this part .of the pro. gramme, whereupon refreshments were served, Abundance of pies had been provided, and discussed, and the remainder a the evening was devoted to social converse. The winter's course of entertainments in connection with this popular church promises so be both inter- esting and attractive.
