letter to the Secretary of State for War, (of which a copy is annexed) that the proposed arrangement is as important on Imperial as on Colonial grounds.
The Captain Superintendent of Police, (Mr Deane), before his departure on leave, pressed on me the necessity of the appointment of a Military Adjutant for the proper drill and discipline of the Corps. Acting Captain Superintendent, — (Captain Dempster, a Military Officer of ability, taste and experience), has reported on the same subject as follows:-
Enclosure
(1.) I have the honour to bring to your notice some points concerning the efficiency of the Hongkong Police Force, to which it seems desirable to draw early and serious attention.
(2) The European and Indian portion of the Force number nearly three hundred (300) strong; they are doing all that one man can do to drill and discipline the Police. If a vacancy should occur in the post of Superintendent, I recommend that he should be confirmed. All here agree that it is fortunate that a man of his stamp should be in charge at the present emergency.
