B.-SOUTHERN DISTRICT.
STAFF.
Mr. G. S. Kennedy-Skipton was in charge throughout the year except during the period 31st August to 11th September, when Mr. B. C. K. Hawkins was in charge.
EXPENDITURE AND REVENUE.
2. Tables I to III show comparative details of the expenditure for the years 1935 and 1936.
3. The actual Revenue collected by the department, as given in Table II, has decreased from the previous year's total by $1,775.38. This small decrease is largely due to the re-entry of salt pan No. 4 at Tai O for non-payment of Crown Rent ($1,022). Reductions also occurred in the following: Police case fines, permits for earth, stone and sand, and building covenant fines.
4. Table III shows a comparative statement of Expenditure and Revenue of the department for the last ten years.
MAGISTRACY.
5. Tables IV to VIII show the details of the cases heard by the District Officer sitting as Police Magistrate and Judge of the Small Debts Court.
6. The number of Police cases dealt with (Table VIII) shows a decrease in 1936 by 28 as compared with the previous year mainly due to the fact that since May 1935 traffic cases not involving deaths have been dealt with by the Kowloon Magistracy. Cases other than traffic decreased by five. None were serious.
7. There were no cases committed for trial at the Supreme Court during the year. Two Armed Robberies (one at Sai Ah Chau and one at Pak Kok) and one Murder at Shek Pai Wan, Lamma Island occurred during the year but the offenders were not traced.
8. Larceny cases during the year 1936 increased by more than half over 1935 but none of them were serious.
