Evidence of police witnesses. - Ordinarily a witness who has acted as a police witness in 7 or 8 previous cases must be regarded as a person under the influence of Police and unless there are special reasons the evidence of such witness must be rejected. In prohibitory cases if there is no independent evidence ordinarily the evidence of police officers is always suspected. There may be cases in which their evidence may be accepted for good or special reasons. The presumption that persons acts honestly applies to police officers. Police on patrol duty. Caught the accused red-handed while distilling illicit liquor by means of working still. Prosecution proved its case beyond shadow of doubt. Excise inspector, how- ever, could not identify the drum which contained Lahan. No ground to set aside the convic- tion.
