§ MR. HENRY J. WILSON (Yorkshire, W.R., Holmfirth)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he can state what other reasons, besides the use of unnecessary violence, induced the authorities to dismiss a second constable from the Metropolitan Police Force in connection with the case of ex-Constable Rolls; and whether the second constable was implicated in corroborating the false charge brought against Wheelerbread by ex-Constable Rolls.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. AKERS DOUGLAS, Kent, St. Augustine's)The second constable, when questioned by his superior officers at the police station, corroborated Rolls in a statement which was afterwards proved to be false.
