That Caldwell was afterwards dismissed by St. Johnson, the Magistrate, and showed himself quite unfit for any situation in the Public Service.

The charge against Caldwell, which was virtually dismissed, was that Caldwell made tempting offers to Sin, and that there was sufficient ground for prosecution.

It is quite possible that Caldwell, seeing Bowning's case regarding gambling and his wager, decided to make a deal.

Murrow was the only one in 1858 when licenses were established for a large sum of money from the accuser, with more or less subsequent enquiry.

In Pollard & Ashingdon's case, Murrow, who was a bitter enemy, was criminally prosecuted in 1862, but it was impossible for the Executive to empower the functions of a Police Magistrate, and the authorities decided to let the matter lie.

Owners of gambling dens suggested that a monopoly should be granted. It is stated that Caldwell never exercised the monopoly given, under the most influential shaping of the Govt Policy.

When the Govt Measure was complete, Caldwell appeared on the scene as the accredited Agent of the parties who obtained the License.
