would have the effect or restoiiu,-; ii T.e pub lio mind confidence in the public force. The charge that there had been poliucii ini-e: ot enca with the administration of the po'ice force had been completely dispro- id. Mr Taylor said the Ministers. drffeiiC-' had been feeble. Quotations from tin' evidence not only of the new Police (' unni- ; i :i r, but of the late Police Commissioni■>' evi dence, fully substantiated the charge o! :n'.:ds terial interference. Every charge in (Mr Taylor) had made last year had beer> fully justified by the evidence taken. He dealt Seriatim with the different charges he had made against the force, and referrinp to the promotion of 72 men last October after the commission was appointed, said it was in the nature of destroying evidence, ns thpy wpre promoted in order to quieten them. For the past eight years not a single defect in the force had been remedied, and the record of the same period was one which should make any administration ashamed of itself. Mr Seddon said the speech just delivered by Mr Taylor, compared with the speech in whioh he made the charges, was a speech with the break on, and the facts as revealed by the Commission had made Mr Taylor go back on almost every charge he had made, Of the 12 charges made by Mr Taylor, only one oharging an unfortunate policeman wiih A breach of the railway regulations had been proved. Two other charges had been par tially proved and nine were absolutely dis proved. If Mr Taylor did what was right to himself and the country he ought to go on his knees and apologise to the country for incur ring the expense of £4OOO in order to prove that a. policeman had transgressed the rail way regulations. He denied that the Govern ment had appointed Commissioner Tunbridge at the instance of Mr Taylor, and said long before the latter's advent in the House the Government had decided to obtain the ser vices of a competent man from England to take the position of Commissioner of Police. The evidence of the Commission had not shown that there had been political corrup in connection with the force committed by present administration.
