§ MR. PICKERSGILL (Bethnal Green, S.W.)asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, Whether he will state to the House the particulars of the case which immediately led to the issue by Sir Charles Warren of his Police Order, dated 24th May, 1885, forbidding superior officers to make remarks on a constable's "defaulter sheet?"
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE (Mr. MATTHEWS) (Birmingham, E.)The Chief Commissioner informs me that he is unable to say at this distance of time whether any particular case or cases led to the issue of the Order in question. His impression is that the absence of such an Order was one of the first points which struck him on taking over the duties of Chief Commissioner.
