At the meeting of the [[Royal Commission-followup|Police Commission]] held yesterday, there were present-Messrs Longmore (in the chair), Hall, Anderson, and Dixon. The proceedings were open to the press for a portion of the sitting. The question of the delay of the Cabinet to deal with the case of Sub inspector Larner was discussed, and the following resolution was agreed to -"That this commission feeling themselves embarrassed owing to the delay of tho Government in dealing with their ad interim report dated 11th October, 1882, resolve that a deputation, consisting of the chairman, Mr Anderson, and Mr Dixon, be appointed to wait upon the Chief Secretary to protest on behalf of the commission against the delay in dealing with their recommendations, as promised, and to ask when it is proposed to deal with the ad interim report.

The commissioners named waited upon the Chief Secretary, and were informed by him that very probably his colleagues would consider Sub inspector Larner's case that evening. Evidence was given by '''James Walsh''', an ex-policeman, who charged detective O'Callaghan with having a noted thier named Taylor (who is at present in gaol) in his employ. He further accused O'Callaghan with having intimidated him with a view to prevent him giving evidence before the Commission. The officer, however, declined to cross-examine the witness and contented himself with saying that his statement was a tissue of falsehoods. The Commission meet again on Tuesday.
