I have the honour to state, in compliance with His Excellency's wish, that the work of the Commission is practically completed when the recommendations of the Commission contained in a letter addressed to yourself, dated 12th March 1880, and in previous letters, were adopted by the Government and put into practice.
Up to date and for many years previously, the suppression of gambling had been entrusted to the Registrar General and Captain Superintendent of Police, and to a small number of specially selected and paid Chinese detectives under the direction of those Officers. The Police were forbidden, under severe penalties, to interfere in any way with gambling.
The Commission, which I had the honour to preside over, became satisfied, very early in the course of their investigation, that, however grave the reasons that had led the late Sir L. Macdonnell to institute this organisation for dealing with gamblers, these reasons had long ceased to have any force or application, and that the duty of enforcing the laws relating to gambling should be restored to the Police for the better governance of the Colony.
