STATISTICAL TABLE (GRAND TOTALS)

Note: The original tabular return contained a detailed breakdown by offence category (rows) and month (columns) with sub-columns for Europeans (E), Indians (I), and Chinese (C). Due to severe OCR degradation, the monthly figures for individual offences cannot be reliably reconstructed. The above list reflects the corrected offence classifications; the summary totals row is incomplete in the scanned image.
