the recommendation in the last part

of the paragraph was formerly a practice, but was discontinued on

the recommendation

of Mr Allay, Mr Ryée, Mr Haytlar, and others.

They scarcely think it would assist Justice

or lighten the work of the Police, if

a system of passing

a prisoner

were adopted for it is easy to imagine

cases in which each individual Constable

concerned would have to be called

as a witness.

39. Para. 45. It is also understood that the Police are in the habit of awaiting the arrival of their relief

at the nearest point of the beat, instead of

actively patrolling up to the last

moment. This irregularity should

be put a stop to.

This offence is strictly dealt with, when the evidence proves loitering.

40. Para. 48. When the Police are said to be hardly sufficient for the requirement, why

make use of Constables in the Fire Brigade, thus

causing them to quit their posts. On

very rare occasions of fire breaking out, they

are required for Police work? It would be better, if practicable, to

employ some similar personnel, or to make other

arrangements. There must be miscomprehension of facts;

the Police do not leave their beats, unless they

are Fire Engine drivers, of whom not more than three

could be on duty at one time in

the City.
