I attach a report by Mr. Badeley the
Captain Superintendent of Police stating the circumstances.
This matter was not specially reported to me as it should
have been, and I regret to find that notwithstanding my orders,
issued as I informed you in my Despatch No. 372 of the 18th.
37/18 September, 1901, that the death of members of the force

should be reported to their relatives without a day's delay
the death of this man was not reported for eleven days
although two mails had left for home. In the meantime I have
called upon the Captain Superintendent of Police for explana-
tion.
