and the Captain Superintendent recommended his dismissal.

In 1878 M. Dongal received a medal and allowance $2.50 a month for wounds received and shown on the occasion of an attack of thieves on a Goldsmith's shop, in which he showed gallantry.

It is on account of this circumstance that he was not dismissed before, as his general character was very bad. There are 26 serious offences recorded against him.

The Captain Superintendent in recommending his dismissal stated that he considered him "untrustworthy" and worthless as a Constable.

He recommended his dismissal under the provision of Sec: XXI of Ordinance 7 of 1862. His dismissal was approved of and M. Dongal then petitioned Government to be permitted to remain in the Force. His petition was refused.

It was referred to the Colonial Surgeon for opinion as to the wounds received in 1878, and he stated that there is no permanent injury and with his "habits of drinking I think he is likely to end in a Lunatic Asylum".

I strongly recommend he should be sent home at once. It was on these grounds and to prevent his becoming a permanent inmate of the Lunatic Asylum his passage was paid to England.
