Transfer Books of The Douglas Steam-terme upon which subordinate officers in ship Co., Limited, elcsed from this dat the Police Force hold their positions hero to the Bath September, both days in Hongkong. Much has been said ond foclusivo:

written about a public trial which ought to have been given to the men who have been lately diamined from the Force. When a Naval or Military man (oflicer or other) is charged with an offence, he en ask for a Court-martial. That is in accordance with the tomma of his agreement. Any subor. dinato affeer or constabla in the Police Force is perfectly cognisant of the fact that

for Singapore, from 1 of Crown Land at North he serves under the terms of Ordinance 14 of 1887, and the regulations appended thereto, or framed since that date. Section 24 of that Ordinance reads: The Gover nor shall have power upen the represents- tion of the Captain Superintendent to dis- miss any subordinate officer or constable for misconduct of neglect of duty, or to approve of the reduction of any sergeant or constable to a lowrer grade or elses in the force. All ofices, it may be remarked, below the rank of Captain Superintendent and Deputy Superiutandontate * subordin-. ate officers. It will be seen, therefore, that the power of the Governor is clearly enongl sot forth; and it seems to us uselesa to argue in favour of any departure from the procedure here laid down. An agreement is an agreement, and it is unreasonable to complain when the terms of that agreement are complied with. The Captain Suporin- tendent of Police could, apparently, have satisfied himself in the recent cases without the assistance of the Crown Solicitor, When he made his representation to the Governor, His Excellency had no difficulty

in coming to a conclusion. We are in the fullest sympathy with the utmost pub Heity is mattera where publicity can fairly bo domanded. But when men belonging to a Government Department are judged by the rules of that Department-rules which they clearly understand and swear 136 to abide by the question arises whether 136 the cry for publicity is not a waste of senti- ment, and an invitation to deliberately depart from the law of a written contract. We consider that Captain May has per- formed a painful duty in a strictly propor manner in the recent cases, and that the Governor has rightly supported his Chief cl-Pulice. The defences already published do not, in our opinion, affect the justice of the recent decisions.
