It is hard to say who is not to blame in this matter. The answers
ere all unsatisfactory.
1.
Inspector Smith, who appear to have been in some sort of cherge
if indeed, in the force, eny boiy can be assumed to be in charge for
any purpose, removed the prisoners from the Magistracy without taking
the trouble to send to P.C.Godfrey for the key of the cells. Godfrey
appears to have been engaged in some luty with a prisoner for balt an
hour outside the court, without apparently reporting the fact to any-
body.
2.1
The Inspector, Warnock, at the Police celis states that Inspector
Seith efter 1 P.M. came to him and sell there were some prisoners to be
detained during sijournment Inspector Aarnock who is in charge of the
-
cells, simply answers "all right" ani loes not take over the prisoners
but allows Smith to remove the keys.
