THE DUNEDIN GAOL ENQUIRY.
PuNEDIX,
Thi.s day
At the gaol enquiry yesterday exInspector Mallard said it was not true that Caldwellhad re-extracted information from prisoners whilst connected with the police. He never knew Caldwcll make improper use of information made by a prisoner. Cunimock was iinunocessarily bad. Ex-Warder McCallom considered Caldwell a fair and honest man, who did his duty. Ho never .saw warders drunk. Till the Commission sat he never heard of Rogers being illtreated. He never saw a prisoner used violently. Mr Brown, a visiting justice, denied that Caldwell had in any way influenced hi.s decisions. Caldwell often said ho did not desire prisoners punished, but considered it hi.s duty to take complaints repeatedly, with the view of giving prisoners a chance. Tho justices were unable to give solitaiy confinement owing to the want of cells, and were therefore obliged to give additional punishment. Every case was considered on its merits, and dealt with as if in the Police Court.
