“FOR PRESS REASONS.”POLICE EVIDENCE OMITTED BY ORDER.

At Bow-street Police Court, yesterday, before Mr. Graham Campbell, GEORGE CECIL MURRAY TINLINE, 25, no occupation, of the Curzon Hotel, Curzon-street, W., was charged on remand with being drunk while in charge of a motor-car, and with “feloniously killing and slaying” Ernest Waterhouse, aged 30, a chemist, of Mare-street, Hackney.... Mr. A. F. Rowe, for the Director of Public Prosecutions, said that the case for the prosecution was that the defendant was drunk and that he was driving recklessly at a speed which had been estimated at between 30 and 40 miles an hour. The defendant had told the police that he was a sergeant in the R.I.C., but it now appeared that he joined the constabulary last October, and after a fortnight was discharged as medically unfit.

• A police constable who arrested the accused was recalled, and in cross-examination said that in his evidence he omitted to mention that the defendant told him he was a sergeant in the R.I.C. This was omitted on instructions from a superior officer.
• Mr. Cassels. – Why?
• The constable. – For Press reasons, I understand; so that the Press should not get it. It was not considered material to the charge.
• The MAGISTRATE remarked that it was very desirable that what a person said on arrest should be fully stated in evidence, especially in cases of drunkenness, as it might assist the Court in forming an opinion as to whether the prisoner was drunk or not.
