During the course of cross-examin-ation of ConstaJble Dartby by Sub-; Inspector Black, in regard to witness' suggestion that men as thoroughly qualified as lie was by solicitors'examination should relieve ill? sub-inspectors of Court work, the subinspector asked whether or not witness considered him (Black) incompetent '! Witness said no, he did not. Sub-inspector Black then made a sensational statement as regards the i relations between himself and InspeeI tor Cullen, saying t/hc latter reported him to be incompetent when he (Black) applied [or a transfer. Inspector Cullen's report, was attached. The whole thing, he believed, was done out of personal antipathy towards him.

Constable McDonald about them and j against O'Grady by Miss McDonald at Oamaru. All the statements, witness said were deliberate Ues, merely, made to involve them also.
