ST U ERLDIAX AV I St. Thomas News We received the following from official sources this morning for publication : The Police Commission met at the Fort on the afternoon of 21st November, 1921, to consider the case of Sergeant Thomas of the Municipal Police Force, charged with shooting prisoner Joseph Darling. * After taking of testimony and careful deliberation, the commission arrived at the following finding which was ordered to be publish:d : ‘*Bearing in mind that the utmost care in the use and handling of firearms should at all times, be the striet duty of a police officer, and that shooting by an officer, of tke police of a prisoner, no matter how desperate or insane he may be, is only justifiable in an emergency, where all physical means at the disposal oi the officer have been exhausted, or where the life of the police officer is threatened or in danger, the commission desides that Sergeant Thomas complied with the requirements of his duty, and | therefore does fully and honorable acquit | him of any blame connected with the | shooting of the prisoner Joseph Darl- ’ ing.”’—St. Thomas Mail Notes, Nov. | 22nd. el | We welcome to his home, from which | he has been absent for eighteen years | Mr. Randolph Souffront, who returned | from New York on Sunday, to spend a | vacation with his father, Mr. J.

TELEGR 1+ MS. | ST. CROIX STATION. | London, November 24th. —The nego- tiatiops for an Irish settlement are fear- ed to be nearing an unfavourable end, according to a high authority today and there is apprehension that next week may witness their collapse un- less more favourable circumstances, not now foreseem, shall develop. -It is said that Ulster is no longer present- ing the sole obstacle, but that the Sinn Fein has refused to accept al- legiance to the King, although will- ing to take the oath of an Irish con- stitution. Furthermore and equal- ly important, it is added, the Sinn Fein will not agree to a vote of Irish legislation by the British Crown. The Sinn Fein is said to be a com- pletely independent Irisn State, al- though loosely connected with the ota- er states in the Empire Acts of par- liament creating British dominions give the King the power of vetoing all legislation, but by constitutional usage this veto is now never exercised. The Sinn Fein however 1s declarea to have made known its belief thata similar veto power regarding Ireland would constantly be used at the will of the ecabinet Govt. regards this difficulty as fundamental, it is asserted, and should the Sinn Fein attitude re- main unchanged the negotiations, it is declared in high quarters, must come to an end. Ulster, apart from its ohjec- l tion to an all-Ireland parliament, is ¢ keenly insistent upon allegiance to the Crown. It is said that a conference which was held this morning in the House of Lords between Lord Birken- head, the Lord High Chancellor, Sir Gordon Hewart, the Attorney General and Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins and George G, Cuffy, Dail Eirean: represen- tatives, was occupied with debates over the constitutional principles involved.
