A.

The P. C. M. 0. would instruct me verbally to put it

in.

14.870 Q.

And unless he did ?

14-870

A.

It would not be done.

기

Therefore we cant accept this book as an absolutely 14 871

true record of all complaints ?

A.

r Shelton Hooper:-

by Bann

It is as true as any book can be, because it is only

in a case where the P. C. M. 0. forgets that it would

not be entered. Forgetfulness would come into any book.

Supposing I wrote a complaint in to the Sanitary Board

about an officer, and it got to the knowledge of the

P. C. M. 0. but he did not think it was substantiated,

and inflicted no punishment

14.872

•

fine or censure - it is

not entered ?

A.

That is 80.

Q.

You keep no book of a list of complaints ?

14.873

A.

No book of a list of complaints.

>Y

Q.

Only a book of a list of punishmenta ?

14.874.

A.

That is so. That is really a list of punishaents, not a

list of complaints.

The Chairman:-

Therefore this is a list of men who have been

complained of and been found guilty by one man - the

14-875-

P. C. M. 0. ?

A.

Yes, that is 50.

Er Shelton Hooper:-

Is this the misconduct book 1

14.876

A

The Chairman ? -

A.

Yes. In addition to that, I have a ledger book.

Supposing I wanted to find out the man Aquino, I turn

up the letter A, and find out all the entries made

against that man.

(Examining book) Not necessarily complaints, but a

record of his service as well ?

A record of service and a record of complaints too. It

contains a great deal of information.
