He told me that Inspector Reidie used bad language to him, for one thing. They apparently had a quarrel. I looked at it as a quarrel between one man and another. But nothing more than bad language. It did not make b26209 any impression on your mind ?

Well, I treated it as a quarrel. I did not go into it more thoroughly, and make any definite report about it. I thought the best plan was to change Inspector

Vard.

6420

Now, have you had any complaints made to you by a District Inspector of the way Senior Inspector Conolly

has treated anyone ?

I dont remember, Sir.

Should yoube surprised to hear that Inspector Frith (42)

has complained to you about Inspector Conolly ?

I should not be surprised, because in a large staff,

there is sometimes a quarrel and disagreement. 641298-sufficient to have him ask to be removed from that

District ?

I really cannot remember, Mr Hooper

6423

But think for a moment, the position you hold as Medical Officer of Health - one District Inspector has

complained of a Senior Inspector. You say you cannot

remember the incident. It oannot be so common that you

would not remember. You dont keep any record ↑

No, I dont keep such records.

And if such a report was made to you, would you think (414

it such a trifling matter to shift him without going

further into it ↑

Yes, unless I had reason to think that thers maa some

accusation of dishonesty against one man.
