MT Bates strenuously objected to a
suggestion of counsel hat cases had
been "stifled." He pointed out that this
was the first case that he was cogni-
withdrawn after having been issued.
Witness thought that the step was
advisable in this a as the informa-

last when he was told of some row

nature.
Witness had not at any time failed
to arrest young Boyd on account of he
fact that he was his fathers son, nor
III he know of any other officer who
had failed to do so.

VIM. Crouch. an ex-alderman Of the
city OF Brandon. said he had lived in
the city for abou seven years. He had
been k by a number of citizens to
cal a public meeting to discuss mat
tiers With reference to police admins
tration. He had been told nv travellers
from time to time that Brandon was
a tough city and that it was only need
ed to pass a policeman a five dollar
Dill and you could do practically what
you liked. The words had been used
IN particular by a Mr.. Osborne who
travelled for an English firm but who
resided In Montreal. j. B. Whitehead
had also spoken to the effect that he
had heard the same report and
thought that an instigation should be
held. When he was chairman of the
police committee. witness received
numerous complaints as to disorderlv
houses. AS far as witness knew, Chief
Boyd had never shirked his duty. Az
q matter of fact the chief knew that
his son was addicted to the gambling
habit. n insisted that his son should
be treated in the same way as any
other offender. On one occasion when
a raid was made young Boyd and
others were arrested and were fined
$40 and costs.
