DETECTIVE’S DISMISSAL
COUNSEL’S OBJECTIONS COMMISSIONER REPLIES Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. Counsel tor Acting:-Detective Coope-i, who was forced to resign from the police force after the recent court case in which he was ordered to pay £ls damages to a s;eaman whom he had as saulted, took exception to the com missioner’s acr.ion on the ground thu: a civil action was no reason for dismissing him. If any action had been contemplated it should have been taken when Cooper was fined £2 at a private police inquiry. Ho w£ s also refused pay foi days' leave to which he was entitled. Mr. W. B. Mcllveney’s reply is that when Cooper was fined, he (th€ commissioner) was not fully acquainted with ill the facts of the case and when he learned them he decided that Cooper must go. If he had not resigned he would have been dismissed. Leave in the police force was a .privilege ancl not a right, and Cooper had forfeited his claim to it by his action.
