The Police Commission Report.
It ia not expected that the Government will give the House any opportunity of coming to a decision on the report of the Polioe Commission. The Defence Minister (the Eon. T. Thompson), who has charge of the Polioe, and who proposed that the recommendations of the Royal Comtnißsionera ta referred to the public Accounts Committee to consider the expense involved, himself voted last night for the adjourment of the bebate, evidently with the view of pre- , venting the House from coming to a decision on this resolution. A division on his motion would probably have resulted in its negation, which would have meant a Government defeat. The Premier tried to close after . the debate on the previous night, but had tore-open it yesterday because of the offence taken by some of bis own supporters at his attempt to prevent th*m flpeaking. He will Dot succeed, however, in shutting numbers mouths about the revelations in tbe report and evidence of j the Commission. Whether he like? j it or not, the wholo thing will be re opened when the Polioe Estimates come up for consideration.—Saturday's ChtonicJe.
