At the sitting of the Police Commission yesterday, the cross-examination of Mr [[Nicolson|Nicolson]] was concluded. It transpired that the Sherritt family insist upon their statement that Mrs Nicolson visited Beechworth recently and endeavoured to get persons then to sign a document representing Jack Sherritt to be a rogue. Mr Nicolson gave this a positive denial, and intimated that Mrs Nicolson was ready to give evidence if the board desired to call her. It was decided to simply ask Mrs Nicolson and certain persons in Beechworth to forward statutory declarations on the subject. Inspector Brooke Smith -was called upon to answer the charges made against him of having been remiss in the performance of hie duty, but as he did not seem prepared with his evidence, his examination was adjourned until to-day.
