Acting Capt. Supt. of Police,

I beg to reply as follows to the queries.

Signing of Summonses. The reason for taking out a summons ap-

pears on the face of the summons itself. I hold that the latter

is justified if a conviction is obtained. From an inspection

of the summons books it will be seen that it is very unusual for

one to be dismissed. It is therefore proved to the satisfaction

of the Magistrate that a breach of the law has been committed.

The chief difficulty as regards making enquiries previous to signing a summons, is that it is impossible to bring them to a satisfactory conclusion without the defendant's story being heard

as well. To do this is obviously impracticable, and would be

usurping the functions of the Magistrates. The Police Officer

who applies for a summons, can almost invariably make out a reasonable case. The rights and wrongs can really only be judged by listening to the defendant's story as well. If a summons ap- peared on the face of it to be frivolous or malicious I should

of course refuse to sign it. I always inspect the Summons' Books, which are brought to me with the summonses. I understand that they were introduced in order to prevent Police taking out un- necessary summonses so as to enable them to 'loaf' at the Folice

Court.

If the Government desires people to be warned in respect of the more trivial offences, such as obstruc- tion, this could of course be done. Instructions could also be given to the Police not to enforce the law, in these cases, too strictly. I have, however, never received any instructions to

this effect.

Patrols.

I have always performed the number of patrols laid down in the Regulation Book and generally a good

many
