full pay.

Sgt. Paul Cranage is second in command of Marine Police and a member of the Police Association.

He is back at work after being acquitted at a disciplinary hearing.

It is understood the British officer was suspended over an alleged threat by Police Association members to withdraw labour during the Queen's visit in March.

The alleged threat was made during efforts by Policemen -- including the bomb squad -- to get extra insurance, it is thought.

Yesterday Police spokeswoman Sgt. Roseanda Jones confirmed Sgt. Cranage was no longer suspended.

She also said the disciplinary hearing had been concluded.

POLICE DEBATE HOA A report which sounded an alarm over Police morale is to be debated in the House of Assembly today.

Delegated Affairs Minister the Hon. Irving Pearman has asked that the House "take note'' of the report of the Police Tumim Committee.

The report said there was"an undercurrent of frustration, despondency, abandonment and hopelessness'' among the ranks of the Bermuda Police.

Police internal problems were at the root of troubles between the Force and the public, the report said.

The committee was set up by Police Commissioner Mr. Lennett (Lennie) Edwards in 1992 on the advice of the Tumim Criminal Justice Review Board.

Other recommendations included videotaping of Police interviews and more beat officers.

BIG FISH HAUL CTS Three men pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court yesterday to removing fishing nets and taking fish valued at $10,000. Police Sgt. Rex Osborne told the Court that Kenneth Burrows, Joseph Pacheto and Nicholas Henry were seen on April 28 tampering with fishing nets in the Great Sound near Sandys Parish.

Having removed the nets, the men put the larger fish in an ice cooler and gave away the rest.

Pacheto said they removed the nets because the tide was so low the fish would have died.

"It would have been cruel to let them die,'' he said.

Asked why he had taken the fish instead of simply releasing them, Pacheto replied that all three men were unemployed at the time of the incident and "just needed to put food on the table''.

Acting Senior Magistrate the Wor. Charles-Etta Simmons ordered social inquiry reports on the three men.

WITNESS JAILED CTS Failure to answer a subpoena to appear in a Supreme Court manslaughter trial landed a Pembroke man in jail on Wednesday night.

Charles Warren, 25, of Cavendish Heights, was scheduled to testify in the manslaughter and wounding trial of Troy Edwards and Frederick Lee on Wednesday morning.

When he did not appear, Chief Justice the Hon. Mr. Justice Ward ordered his arrest.

Appearing in court yesterday morning, Warren told Mr. Ward that he didn't come because he felt sick and had overslept.

The Chief Justice asked him why he didn't call to let the court know: "You had the whole day. What were you doing all that time? We cannot run a court like this.'' Warren did not reply.

Mr. Ward remanded Warren in custody until a $2,000 bail plus two sureties of the same amount could be signed.

The trial was postponed until today as lawyer Mr. Richard Hector was ill.
