crowd was hostile and were asking about the
non arrival of the presiding officer for polling
division 72. Whilst speaking to those
persons Sandra Bailey came out of the
building housing the polling division and
spoke with me. Having spoken to her I
continned that polling division 57 was
relocated to St. Stephens Basic School. I
had not entered the building because of the
hostility of the crowd. I had given no
authorisation for the relocation of this
polling division."

Influencing electors contrary to
.
section 78.
Constable Richard Robinson swore as follows :"The indoor agent, who declared that he was
associated with the J.L.P., instructed the
electors for polling divisions 56 and 58 to
vote in polling division 57. 1 told him that
that should not be done. He replied saying
that Miss Brown the J.L.P co-ordinator for
West Central St. Andrew had spoken to the
Returning Officer and "it can go on". I saw
the said agent collecting the voters guide
from the electors and telling them "oonu go
home, me know where to put the 'x' because
me a shower man". About 15 - 20 persons
handed over their cards and left the premises.
There were approximately 65 persons still in
the queue when I approached him and ask
him to desist. He complied.
The said agent told the presiding officer to
look on the voters list for the names on the
cards which he had collected from the
electors. He then took some ballot papers
from the desk, marked them, folded them
and placed them in the ballot box. This was
done in the presence of the presiding officer,
the poll clerk and some electors who had
forced their way into the hall. I did not
interfere because it was my understanding
that I should not interfere with anything
