The position of the inspector will be further enhanced, and he will be more removed fion immediate contact with the sergeants and con. stables by the creation of the new rank, which we propose between that of sergeant and in 1753.1pector. The designation we suggest for this Yank is that of sub-inspector. A sub-inspector will be promoted by selection from amongst the first-class sergeants. He should be paid Tis 170 a month. His duties will be to act as assistant to the inspector in Bit district sad to relieve him of his work at the Mixed Court. A man of this rank will also be able to | act as inspector in case of absence or illness amongst the inspectors, and to take charge of sub-statione, The number of sub-inspectors required'appears to us to be twelve.

The promotion to sergeant from the rank of constable is a matter which requires the atten, tion of the Captain-Superintendent. The pre seat system, if carried out, seems to us satis factory; but we are not satisfied that the meilis of a constable as a zealous and sufficient policeman always receive suffi- cient recognition. It is possible that a man may pass good examinatious in police work and Chinese and lack the characteristics which make a good policeman. We recommend that written report from inspectors under whom a
