them there to detain them. In the cases the Constable has a majority of cases. Enough to do to look after his prisoner. There is therefore a great deal to be said in favour of sending a European Officer or Constable with Chinese Detective to the scene to supplement the case.

Paragraphs 25, 26, 27, 28, need no comment in face of correspondence on record.

25. The first portion of §29, Police cases about which there is likely to be any difficulty should be referred to the Superintendent or his Deputy before being sent to trial.

Police General Order No. 106 of 25th April attempted to be carried out so long ago. All police cases will be brought to the Central Station not later than "Sauer Offices in charge will take prisoners and witnesses to the Office of the Deputy Superintendent, who will make a preliminary inquiry previous to sending the case before the Magistrates." Signed "CV Eyre, Capt. Supt."

This order was promptly cancelled on the complaint of the Magistrates that it interfered with their duties.

As to cases of difficulty, I have to observe that for the first time in my lengthened experience, the services of the Attorney General and the Crown Solicitor were not afforded to me when I applied for them as in 1870.

"On and after Monday, 2nd proximo."
