small gratuities to Police constables, as rewards for meritorious acts performed by them in the discharge of their duties.

However, to follow the exact instructions given and to improve the response to fit the required format (HTML using

for paragraphs), and to correct the text according to the given rules, here is the revised version:

Dispatch N.12 of 1864

Inclosure in DAT

Gratuities - Indian Constables - Police recommending two for

87. March 1854

12 - Secretary - 12 - 4112

To the Treasury.

WM, 11 - 10 - 9 March - left to you.

Mesa 4824

To the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong reporting the grant of certain small gratuities to Police constables, as rewards for meritorious acts performed by them in the discharge of their duties.

Further be transmitted for their Lordships' consideration a draft of a despatch which Mr Wordwell proposes in answer to Sir A. Robinson, in the event of this draft receiving their Lordships' concurrence.

Let's correct and simplify it further while adhering to the rules:

Dispatch N.12 of 1864

Inclosure in DAT

Gratuities - Indian Constables

Police recommending two for

87. March 1854

To the Treasury.

Copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong reporting the grant of certain small gratuities to Police constables, as rewards for meritorious acts performed by them in the discharge of their duties.

Further be transmitted for their Lordships' consideration a draft of a despatch which Mr Wordwell proposes in answer to Sir A. Robinson, in the event of this draft receiving their Lordships' concurrence.

Upon closer inspection, it appears the initial text was heavily corrupted by OCR errors. The corrected version aims to restore coherence while following the instructions. However, some parts (like "Mesa 4824", "WM, 11 - 10 - 9 March - left to you.", "4112", "Secretary - 12") seem out of context or nonsensical, suggesting they might be artifacts of the OCR process or unrelated to the main content. The best approach is to focus on the coherent parts and correct them according to the rules. Here is the final version:

Dispatch N.12 of 1864

Inclosure in DAT

Gratuities - Indian Constables

Police recommending two for

87. March 1854

To the Treasury.

Copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hongkong reporting the grant of certain small gratuities to Police constables, as rewards for meritorious acts performed by them in the discharge of their duties.

Robinson, in the event of this draft receiving their Lordships' concurrence.
