Excellency the Officer Administering the Government thinks

it is necessary to notice the Superintendent of Police, should at once investigate the matter, instead of turning parties over to the Courts and the Law's unavoidable delays, which naturally deter the injured parties from proceeding then.

That the Superintendent appears to His Excellency to be in the position of the Commanding Officer of Regiment, who is bound to investigate all complaints preferred by civilians against the subordinate personnel and punish those found guilty.

(Signed) Fredering Stewart
Acting Colonial Secretary

Police Office,

I have the honour to invite the attention of His Excellency the Governor to the instructions issued by His Excellency the Officer lately Administering the Government, and to the complaints made by members of the Public against Police Constables; with a set of instructions which His Excellency desires me to put forth.

The following entry appeared in the Police Administrative Report quoted above.
