2. On returning here, I found that the system continued to be regulated by the self-adjusting nature of its organization. On the whole, it was, in a manner, satisfactory both as to the almost complete suppression of illegal Gambling, and the orderly conduct of the Licensed Horses themselves.
3. The question of the favorable effect or otherwise of the system on Crime is one on which much difference of opinion has been expressed. I believe, however, as I have more than once remarked that, if we take the crime of larceny by servants as a test of the system, we shall find it proved most clearly that the very crime, which at first seemed most likely to be increased by tempting that class to resort to such convenient gaming places and afterwards help themselves to their Masters' property to retrieve losses, diminished in a most remarkable degree. Please refer to my despatch, No. 739, of the 6th July, 1869, for the Statistics proving a diminution of Larceny by Servants from an average of 80 per Quarter to much under 20.
4. It was seen, moreover, that crime generally had diminished when I was leaving the Colony in April 1870, as illustrated in my despatch, written on the day of my departure, to the Secretary of State, dated 12 April 1870.
