Minute by His Excellency the Governor. I do not quite understand the last paragraph the Captain Superintendent's letter, of the 1st of May, 1879. Ask him to explain what he means by saying “I enclose his (JoHN FREEMAN'S) *character roll, which would count for ten years "service as very good.”
J. Pore HENNESSY.
14th May, 1879.
Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police. I have the honour to report that the amplified meaning of the paragraph referred to is to this effect:-
JOUN FREEMAN has served ten years, and re- ference to his character roll shows that during that period of service he has only been fined on three occasions, and that on none of those occa- sions did the fine amount to $10 (which sum [ denotes a "serious offence"). Therefore, as the
number of offences are few when the number of years he has served are considered, his character on his discharge certificate would be marked "very good."
W. M. DEANE,
Captain Superintendent of Police.
Minute by His Excellency the Governum. 1. In this case it rests with me to decide whe- ther P. C. JOHN FREEMAN, who was enlisted in
our Police Force ten years ago in Hongkong and
who is now retiring on pension, should receive the [ three months' pay (as a sort of gratuity in addi-
(tion to the pension) amounting to $120, being the 「 sum hu can receive under section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1869, or whether the greater favour of giving (Lim $250 (payable to Constables enlisted in the (United Kingdom) should be allowed to him.
me,
the
2. In bringing this question before Captain Superintendent adds that JOHN FREEMAN'S character roll counts for ten years' service as "Very good."
3. But on looking through the character roll, Ifind eight offences recorded, some no doubt not very serious, but one so grave that it is impos- sible for me to overlook it. It is an offence des- cribed in the character roll as "gross neglect of daty," and, on calling for the details, the Captain Superintendent states that it was a case in which P.C. FREEMAN being in charge of a Police Station was bound to have sent the Indian Constables on duty at 10 p.M., but that, at midnight, the Ins- pector of the district having occasion to arrest a man found no Constables on night duty, and on proceeding to the Police Station he found FREE- MAN and the Indians (who ought to have been ( on duty) in their beds.
