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.
