"have authority to go on board any ship in Harbor, yet you had the Magistrate and qu "a Warrant." I went to the Assistant Magistrate, being close at hand, and the Office being closed, and told her that I had been sent by the Superintendent of Police for a Warrant (explaining to him at the same time the occurrence), to bring on shore one Madison, Carpenter of the "Reindeer". The Assistant Magistrate said that a Warrant was not requisite, Police Officer could bring the man on shore. I told Mr. May what the Asst Magistrate had said; he then ordered me to go on board the "Reindeer", with two European Constables (not armed) and bring Madison on shore. I got on board at about 9 a.m., and inquired for the Captain, on being told that he was not on board, I enquired for the Mate, who immediately presented himself. I said "I have come to get one of your men on shore, the one handcuffed to the bulwark" - pointing to Madison. The Mate asked me by what authority? I said "by the Police". The Mate took the key from his pocket and unlocked the handcuff. I told Madison to get a suit of clothes and come on shore. Whilst he was getting his clothes the Mate asked me for my address, and opened a book with several blank sheets, and I wrote my name at the top of one of the sheets, as follows - Mr Alexandre Gres, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Hong Kong. Madison in the meantime had got his chest of clothes to bring on shore. I said, "no, I'll not allow you to bring the chest, but only one suit of your clothes, as tomorrow is Sunday". Madison
