It appears Regulations that the more ordinary cases of complaint against the Police, such as you quote, apply to the Police Regulations and Instructions.
Frederick Stewart Acting Colonial Secretary
The instructions of His Excellency printed in the Police Regulations and approved by His Excellency Sir George Bowen are as follows:
With reference to complaints by the Public against any member of the Police Force, it is not recommended to apply at the Magistracy for redress.
