A burglary had been committed in an uninhabited Quarter of the City, and though outnumbered, Police Cristable, who was by himself, did not hesitate to attack the burglars, excel in number, and though they fired several shots at him, he succeeded in driving them off, but not until he had shot one with his musket.

During the quarter I have approved the disbursement of $199 for secret service in connection with the Police. In each case I have carefully enquired, but it is not necessary to trouble Your Grace with the details.
The Harbor Master's Office has lately been removed to a more convenient position, and as from that office it was most necessary that communication with the different hulks and boats of the Department when out should be established, I directed that a flag staff should be put up, which has already proved very serviceable.

Of the works at Pokfulam in connection with the Reservoir, I have already very fully enlarged in previous despatches. For the sake of economizing both labour and time, a tramway was laid down at the expense of $16941.
