I have read these papers carefully, but would be glad to see the Comparative Returns from the other Districts made in a similar form to the Returns of the Central District.

W. M. DEANE,
Captain Superintendent of Police.
11th September, 1878.
Minute by His Excellency the Governor.
1. I return the Police Books-Volumes eleven and twelve, showing the duties for 1876 and 1877--which I have perused, together with the Report of Mr. DEANE and the Returns he was good enough to prepare at ny request on the night duties of the Police Force.
2. Those documents confirm the suspicions I entertained that the night beats in this Colony are undermanned.
3. They also show that in the most important District the number of the Police on regular beats between midnight and six o'clock in the morning has been reduced since 1876, in the case of the European Force, from 14 to 8, and in the case of the Chinese Force from about 20 to 15.
4. The Captain Superintendent also says that he has rarely enough men to fill all the beats, and that in such cases he has to order one man to take charge of two beats,
5. Let the night beats and patrols in the Victoria District be at once restored to the maximum strength of 1876; and let the Captain Superintendent prepare for my consideration a revised scheme of night beats and patrols of about thirty-three per cent. greater strength than the maximum I refer to. 6. In future I should like to see weekly returns of the night duties, and to receive a special report before the numbers are altered in any particular district.
27th September, 1878.
J. POPE HENNESSY,
Governor.
