asked for leave, for a short extension of leave
Mr Graham.
(Minutes.)
I do not know of nor can I find in the Registry that there is any suitable officer on leave capable of taking charge of these police on their return to the Colony.
I think if some one must be in charge some superior officer should be sent over to take charge of them - probably an Inspector.
Suggest this by telegram?
