Marine Magistrates deal with a large number of cases worth about £2000 during the year.
Coroner & Superintendent of Police: The total amount invested in buildings liable to Assessment is supposed to be considerable. Many of these were constructed in the hope that Hongkong would become a Commercial Emporium. Now these ideas are proved to have been visionary. The value of these buildings will be considerably deteriorated; indeed, it is humored that some will be left untenanted. Estimating the assessable property as high as $800,000, at 8 percent per annum, this would yield £8000 a year, for which a large Police force may be maintained.
To determine whether a large Police force will prevent burglaries, robberies, and ransoms in Hongkong, past experience with the Cadet Ladrones in China shows that having numerous, almost untraceable, and indiscernible haunts in the surrounding islands and mainland will render property insecure in Hongkong. As incendiaries are at work, organizing in bands with firearms, it is very probable that life itself will be rendered insecure and constantly jeopardized.
The duties of the Harbour Master are now more onerous than ever, as the outlook is fraught with danger. The maintenance of an efficient Police force is essential. The duties of the Marine Magistrate ought, as in other Colonies, to be performed by the Naval and Magisterial Authorities. The present Harbour Master has worked hard for nearly four years and would make a useful Officer at the Cape, Hobart, or Adelaide; his Assistant is well acquainted with Hongkong and its neighborhood. With an efficient boat and crew, the charges might be reduced to a third of their present amount.
