GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG 25th March, 1930.
My Lord,
I have the honour, in accordance with
Colonial Regulation 358, to request Your Lordship's authority
to write off the sum of $306.40 which is the stock-book
nominal value of 1,532 Ambulance Badges which are missing
from the store of the Police Department. The badges were
out of date and were not for issue; such value as they
actually possessed was only their value as old metal.
The circumstances are fully explained in the
attached report of a departmental Board of Enquiry which
I caused to investigate the case.
2.
I have instructed the Inspector General of
Police to deal departmentally with the officer responsible
for the loss on a charge of carelessness.
I have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship's most obedient,
humble servant,
60.d. Southosh.
Officer Administering the Government.
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LORD PASSFIELD,
