The three were arrested Monday night when Sergeants Pero and Herod went to Inspect the premises with the object of reporting to the Attorney-General's Department on conditions found there. A request had been forwarded to lift the ban imposed by Magistrate Brodie. 

Sergeant Herod declared that Taylor knew of the projected visit, but admitted that I did not know when you were coming."
