to hold such reserve ammunition...
I always get the morning state-
It is the duty of the Serjeant in charge to report when the reserve requires supplying. It is the duty of the Serjeant in charge to see that the fire arms of the Police are in order and properly loaded.
I consider that each... mau should have ten rounds. I always considered that the three Police Boats were all that were intended for service at Stone Cutters Island. I think I consider that the expression "sufficient to man 4 Boats" contemplated the manning of Superintendent's Boat. If it is stated that the Portuguese Constable on duty in the Police Drost on the 21st instant had no arms : great neglect of duty on his part.
I have given no orders and know of none about repairs of Police Boats stationed at Store Cutters' Island being made other than in the usual way. Inspector da Silva spoke to me about it saying it was right. Mr. Braker should pay for their repairs. I told him to make the necessary repairs in the same manner as before.
