Have you ever heard of a case of a Senior Inspector having cancelled a small notios, issued by a District

Inspector?

I dont remember any case in which he had cancelled,

on his own responsibility, but I have myself cancelled

many.

I understand these did not come to you ?

This was in the old dayɛ. This was the usual course on

discovering a nuisance -

What days are you speaking of - before the passing of

the ordinano® ?

You.

I dont think we need go back to that, because it is the present Ordinance we are considering. Under the present Ordinance, supposing a District Inspector served a small notice, and the Senior Inspector disagreed with it, would he of necessity refer it to you before

cancelling it ?

He has no definite instructions to refer the matter to

me. He is only more or less under the tuition of the Senior Inspector, in his work, and if he has served a notice, which he ought not to have served, I think it is the duty of the Senior Inspector to stop him. I have

myself had occasion to stop him.

Have you ever heard of a Senior Inspector stopping him?

I cannot give any definite reply to that. I would say when the Inspector did not have any more notiges in connection with this contravention, it would be his

1769.) duty to stop them all. :( Su pafa

Now, Dr Pearse, who calls those fortnightly meetings

you hold ↑

It was arranged when Dr Atkinson and I were here in 1903, that we should have a meeting of plague Inspectors
