And about 30 men including Petty Officers to be specially affected to the duties of a Water Police; under the same Regulations (1) to Emolument to, with the ordinary police to the City and subject to the same Superintendence.

It is obvious that the changes above recommended will involve an increase of Expenditure. Having regard to the peculiar situation of this possession of the crown, and to the Considerations, suggested by the Committee of 1847 in their Report to Parliament, we do not think that the police expenditure of Hong Kong ought to be solely defrayed out of its local resources. We recommend the following distribution as more consistent with justice: one third to be borne by the Imperial Government, one third by the local Crown Revenue of Hongkong, and one third by local taxation.
