THE ALLEGED IMMOBILITY AND SHEBEEMNG AT BARRY. OFFICIAL INQUIRY INTO THE MA TTER. CHARGES AGAINST THE LOCAL POLICE. An official inquiry into the allegations of whole- sale ehebeening and immorality existing in the Barry and Cadoxton district was held on Saturday last at the Police Court, Barry Dock, when County Alderman J. C. Meggitt, n, member of the Joint Police Committee, presided, and there were also present Mr. Lionel Lindsay (the chief constable), with the Rev. J. Honey, Rev. Christmas Lewis, Mr. G. Pike (Cardiff), Mr. E. Kernick, and Mr. J. Marsh representing the Ministers' Fraternal Associ- ation. the Temperance Council, and the National Vigilance Association Branch of the district. The proceedings were conducted in private, but a representative of the Star was subsequently informed that evidence was adduced by different gentlemen present, principally the Rev. J. Honey. tending to prove the inordinate prevalence both of the illicit sale of intoxicating drink on Sunday, as well as public prostitution in the Barry Dock por- tion of the district especially. Accusations were also made against the local police as to incapacity to deal effectually with the evils which, it was said, were so rampant. The inquiry lasted upwards of an hour, and it was at length understood from the chairmanand chief-constable that a certain remedial course would be pursued as the result of the in- quiry, which was considered satisfactory by the deputations, who are. therefore, hopeful that the grievances which had thus been raised would thereby, to a great extent, be suppressed.
