SIR,
POLICE OFFICE, HONGKONG, 15th November, 1882.
Adverting to the question of married quarters for Europeans Constables, I have the honour to submit for approval the following regulations.
2. (a.) After the 1st January, 1883, no married European Constable shall be enlisted unless the number of married Constables in the Force whose wives are resident in the Colony does not exceed ten in number.
(b.) No European Constable who marries after the above date will be entitled to married quarters unless the number of married Constables, &c. (as before).
(c.) The number of Sergeants or Acting Sergeants for whom quarters shall be provided shall be ten in number.
(d) Married quarters will be allowed to Inspectors.
(e) The accommodation provided shall be two rooms, one bath room, and the use of a cook house; the size of a room shall not be less than 12′0′′ × 12′0′′ for a Constable, or 14′′ × 14′ 0′′ for an Inspector, or a Sergeant.
(f.) In default of accommodation, an allowance of $15 a month will be granted, and for the purposes of discipline, lodgings taken under this allowance shall be deemed to be Police Stations.
(g.) The Captain Superintendent shall in case of misconduct on part of any officer or Constable, or the wife or child, and if he deems it necessary for the discipline of the Force, exercise the right to decline the further use of married quarters to any such Officer or Constable.
3. It is to be observed that Government does not undertake to provide married quarters for Indians or Chinese.
4. It would be advisable to at once pull down and re-build No. 9 as married quarters for Constables.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
W. M. DEANE, Captain Superintendent of Police.
