I had the honour of reporting on the 3rd ultimo that, in No 139, para. H, with the approval of the Executive Council, I had left it to the discretion of the Head of the Police to put two-thirds of the Police Force on duty at night, as might be necessary, hoping that by better distribution of the force he would be able to check the robberies with violence committed by bodies of men, often armed, which had been so unusually frequent for some time past. I am happy to say that very few of these robberies with violence have since been reported.
