the Indence can be justly considered a much the papers S 14/12
I think that legally there is no evidence on which a County Law could convict the men of receiving bribes. I allude to the constables named respectively Corcoran, Phelfe, Ying, Neory, Madan, Stall, Foord Macaulay, Graham & Iver. In no case is there any direct evidence that any sums of money were actually received by these men. Yin told a third party to give money to the constables & that the third party told him he had so disposed of it. Yin's story is not to be correct that he was speaking the truth when he says he gave some money to the third party, in no case can that third party be called to say that he actually gave it to the constables. May, the Chief constable Sam Yin, but he began maintaining an interest in maintaining the character of his policeman to arouse suspicions. But there is no evidence other than hearsay to convict any one of these men of taking a bribe.
These men, with the possible exception of Phelfs, have been of good character. The persons whose evidence they are attacked have been of infamous character. I see no reason why they should suffer in pension. It is moved to permit those to retire who wish to do so, but I think the S/PS might consider all the circumstances, being in favour of the men on a fresh term of service. Here, however, I feel disinclined to decide the question as it is entitled to me. I turn to the evidence.
I have read the Superintendent's framed statement that "There was Evidence to justify the men being charged." The question is how far you will let the suspicions aroused affect the careers. I have extracted out the evidence as to each man to avoid length and have not dealt with them separately. If you wish it, I will do so above.
Is Dec. I have examined this matter very carefully and consulted Ben Trupfield.
The conclusion I have come to is that the recommendations of the Subcommittee are beyond the power of the Council to correct. The position is that we have no power to punish, but that, as recommended, the Police Officers have lost the confidence of their Chief, who is supported by the general public, and they must be removed as speedily as possible.
The Chief Officer had reported that the characters of these men had been uniformly good, and that the faulling scandal might have been proper grounds for the reduction of pensions; but a refusal to rectify anything sold at the discretion of the pensioning rendered by the foremen's proposals at one time sufficient ground for reduction. Scandal is not enough to base a reduction of pension, appearing...
