From Lt. Col. Younghusband Offg., Inspector General of Police Punjab, to C. V. Creagh Esquire, Assistant District Superintendent of Police Mooltan, No. 935, dated 25th March 1867.

In continuation of No. 505, dated 8th ultimo, forwards for information copy of a No. 423 dated 16th current, from the Secretary to Government Punjab, Civil Department, with original enclosures, regarding the terms of service of Sikh policemen, required for the Hong- Kong police.

2. On the arrival of the Inspector General at Lahore, any points requiring orders can be settled.

From T. H. Thornton Esquire, Secretary to Government Punjab, to Major G. Hutchinson, Inspector General of Police Punjab, No. 462 dated 26th March, 1867.

In continuation of No. 423 dated 16th instant, forwards copy of Government of India, Home Department's No. 2822, dated 20th instant, conveying His Excellency's pro- posals in regard to the forfeiture of return passage from China, by Sikh Policeman, dismissed for

grave

misconduct.

From E. C. Bayley Esquire, Secretary to Government of India, Home Department, to T. H. Thornton Esquire, Secretary to Government Punjab, No. 2822 dated 20th March 1867.

With reference to the remark in paragraph 2 of my letter No. 2247, dated the 6th instant, regarding the condition proposed by the Hong-Kong Government of forfeiture of return passage from China by Sikh Policemen dismissed for grave misconduct, I am directed to state that the Governor General in Council has further considered the point, and is of opinion that such a condition would entail hardship, and might eventually operate prejudi- cially and render service in China distasteful to the Sikhs.

2. His Excellency in Council would accordingly propose that, as the pay to be given to these men is very liberal, a certain monthly deduction be made from it, and carried to the account of each man, sufficient to cover the cost of his passage, and to allow him a moderate sum for his journey and maintenance to his home, on his arrival in India.
