Captain Superintendent of Police to Colonial Secretary.

Sir,

Police Department,

27th March 1897.

I have the honour to bring to the notice of the Governor and to recommend for His Excellency's favourable consideration

the claims of Inspector Stanton for special recognition not only of

the zeal and industry displayed in the execution of his duty, but of

the valuable knowledge of the Chinese language which he has acquired,

a knowledge which I think is worth far more to the Police Force than

the $10 monthly allowance which it earns for Inspector Stanton.

In my letter No.100 of the 19th instant I reported

how the Chief Justice had recently complimented the Police on the

handling of a case that was tried at the last Criminal Sessions, and

I explained that to Inspector Stanton, as the officer in charge of the

case, the principal credit was due.

Similar commendations from the Bench have been frequently made by the judges and magistrates in reference to Inspector

Stanton and it was only on Wednesday last in the Supreme Court that

the Attorney General referred to him as "the most accomplished and

capable Police Inspector in the Force."

For myself I cannot speak too highly of the manner
