occasions during my brief administration of the
Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night
duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the
Police Force will understand that this decision

Head of the Executive will not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the
Police and that the award of whatever bonuses or
promotions in the Police may be at my disposal,
will depend, in no small degree, on the way in
which each individual in the Force does his work
in protecting the Colony at night.
