My Lord,
As Your Lordship is no doubt aware the Assistant Superintendent of Police in the New Territories has since the occupation of the latter discharged the duties of Police Magistrate there receiving as remuneration for this additional work the sum of $1,200 per annum.
2.
Although at first sight it might seem undesirable that one and the same Officer should discharge the duties of these two posts, yet in actual practice the amalgamation has worked smoothly and well and the arrangement has the advantage of being economical.
3.
There is not at present, nor is there likely to be in the near future, enough work to occupy the time of two different Officers for these two posts, and neither of them can be combined with the duties of the only other European Officer resident in the New Territories
