It was stated that Chambers was driving across the Town Hall Square when a constable controlling the one-way traffic signalled him to pull up, and he failed to do so.
Mr. Chanthers, who conducted his own defonee, said the police officer did not make a proper signal, but when he drove across the Square stopped him, made him reverse hia car for a few yards, then ordered him to go forward. When he said this was not necessary he made him pull up again.
"Now, and I say it with a full sense of responsibility and a full sense of that fact that I have no more witnesses in this case. I do think it is time a protest was mada against some of the arbitrary nets of police officers.".
