DISTRICT WATCH.
(Ordinance 3 of 1888).
(Table VII).
13. The District Watch Committee met on 12 occasions at the Secretariat for Chinese Affairs. In addition 4 meetings at which His Excellency the Governor presided were held at Government House. The following gentlemen served on the committee throughout the year:
Mr. Wong Kam-fuk, Mr. Lei Yau-tsun,
Hon. Sir Shouson Chow, Kt.,
Mr. Tong Yat-chun, Mr. Fung Ping-shan,
Mr. Lo Cheung-shiu,
Mr. Wong Iu-tung.
Mr. To Sz-tun,
Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall,
C.M.G.,
Mr. Li Po-kwai,
Hon. Dr. S. W. Tso,
Mr. Li Yik-mui.
Messrs. Wong Ping Suen and Lo Chung Kui retired on the expiration of their year of office and were succeeded by Messrs. TANG SHIT KIN and MA CHUI CHIU.
14. At the end of the year the District Watch force was at its full strength of 125 men. 7 members of the force retired on pension, 6 were dismissed, 3 resigned, 1 deserted and 1 died; 18 new recruits were engaged during the year.
Sub-Inspector Carey remained in charge of the force throughout the year. The post is an arduous and responsible one involving as it does the control almost single handed of a considerable body of men, the duties of liaison officer between the police and District Watch, and the detailed supervision of the activities of the detective branch. Sub-Inspector Carey worthily maintained the high standard set by his predecessors in this office.
15. The total number of police court cases secured by members of the force was 737 including over 500 cases of larceny as compared with 848 in 1928. The record in this respect is very satisfactory seeing that for three months from May to July every man who could be spared was fully occupied in maintaining order amongst the queues waiting at street fountains. These men performed a monotonous and often difficult task in a satisfactory and tactful manner and credit is due to them as well as to the public for the patience with which the long period of water restriction was endured.
