My personal Knowledge of Mr Jarman's services does not date back further than 1866. I have communicated with Mr May, and have obtained the following report:-

"Mr. Jarman joined the Hong Kong Police as a Constable in 1849 at which time I was Superintendent; in consequence of his general capability, sobriety and integrity he was promoted to different ranks and finally to that of Assistant Superintendent. I always found him obedient and useful in carrying out the ordinary routine of Police duties, and from the great difficulty in the earlier days of the Colony to find honesty of purpose and capability combined in the possession of the Officer I consider that he has claims upon the Colony's Government for full provision."

(signed) W. May, late Police Magistrate.

Since 1866 Mr Jarman, although useful in controlling the Police Stores and attending to some of the internal arrangements of the Force, has himself become less capable of dealing with serious criminal offences.

(signed) W. M. Deane, Captain Superintendent of Police.
