In recommending Mr. Hallifax for
this appointment I would desire to make it clear that no
disparagement of Mr. Wodehouse, Senior Assistart, would be
involved. Mr. Hallifax as a Cadet who entered the Service
prior to the separation of the Police Department from the
other posts in the Cadet Service, has a prior claim and I
also consider that his length of service and record give
him a much stronger claim. Mr. Wodehouse is a very
promising and well qualified young Officer who in due
course will no doubt obtain promotion.

If Mr. Hallifax is appointed
Deputy Superintendent of Police, no Police Probationer need
be selected for service in this Colony at this year's
examination.
I have the honour to be,
sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Mangang
Governor,&C..
