the hearing of a complicated case alleged disorder in October 1885.

26.

§29 Audit The latter part of §29. whatever concessions came out in evidence reflecting on the conduct of the Police should be brought to the notice of the Captain Superintendent, has always been acted upon either by endorsement on the charge sheet by the Magistrate, by his forwarding the depositions, by report of the Officer in charge of the case, or on his own motion on observing unfavourable report in the local papers.

27. Paragraphs 30, 31 are beyond the scope of these papers.

28. Para. 32. A careful watch on the part of the English Inspectors, Sergeants and Constables is required over the Sikhs and Indians (referred to here as "Lokongs") both at night and in the day that patrolling would appear to be necessary. It does not mean that a good deal further than seeing Constable is on his beat and not asleep. The English Contingent is said to be on the mind of the Police, but there is little evidence of this in the ranks, in the subordinate ranks.

I do not observe that one single European Constable examined committed any oversight. The fact appears to be overlooked that to expose Europeans to street duty during the day time in a Colony where, as for instance last year, a Constable had sunstroke and died after walking thirty yards from the Magistracy to the Charge Room, is fraught with great danger to health.
