The Police [[Royal Commission-followup|Commission]] sat yesterday, and further examined Detective '''Kidney''', who qualified some of the statements he made at a previous hearing by saying that they should be accepted merely as his opinion. He gave evidence in reference to the administration of the branch, but reminded the commission that, although he had been in the service upwards of 20 years, he was not directly engaged in the detection of crime. Inspector Secretan was examined upon some of the leading features of his general evidence, without reference to the disputes with Detective Foster and ex Detective O'Rourke. One or two points in the evidence were surrounded with a shade of mystery. They referred particularly to the witness's previous career, but the commission considered that nothing in connexion with it could be regarded as disparaging him.
