FAKING A CHARGE-SHEET
AND THE CONSEQUENCES. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Dr. Findlay, Minister of Justice, who arrived here this morning, received a deputation of prominent citizens, asking for either the reinstatement of ex-In-spector Gillies or his appointment to some other office under the Government. Mr. Gillies was retired from the police force in consequence of irregularities occurring over the arrest of a local J.P. last year on a charge of drunkenness, the charge-sheet being altered with the intention of concealing names. Speakers emphasised the long and honorable career of Mr. Gillies, and expressed the opinion that the punishment was unduly severe. Dr. Findlay replied that personally he was opposed to granting the desire of the deputation, on the ground that discipline in the force must be maintained, but he would lay the request of the deputation before Cabinet. He expressed his own firm conviction that the matter should rest where it was.
