to introduce the use of the "cat" under the Flogging Amendment Ordinance No. 12 of 1911. This punishment was awarded in 29 cases during December. The Police succeeded in preventing any serious outbreak of lawlessness, though the influx of undesirable characters from Canton and other parts of China was disagreeably apparent and many cases of disorderliness, assaults and petty thieving were reported. Military assistance was provided in the form of armed patrols, and the Police Force was temporarily augmented by enlisting 20 special constables.

On 21st January, Sir Henry May vacated the office of Colonial Secretary to take up the office of Governor of Fiji and High Commissioner for the Southern Pacific. His place was filled by the appointment of Mr. W. D. Barnes from the Federated Malay States Service, whose untimely death on the 28th October again rendered the Colonial Secretaryship vacant. Mr. Claud Severn of the Federated Malay States Service was subsequently appointed, but did not assume his duties during the year. Mr. C. Clementi was in charge of the Colonial Secretary's Department from 22nd January to 21st February, and acted as Colonial Secretary from 22nd February to 6th June and again from 29th November to the end of the year under review. Mr. Brewin acted from 30th October to 28th November.
