Police Department
1 Acting Deputy Superintendent
6 Inspectors
1 Acting Inspector
4 Sergeants
2 Acting Sergeants.

Chinese Supreme Court
1 Interpreter
4 Long Interpreters
1 Clerk
5 Chinese Sergeants
373 Chinese Constables (exclusive of Constables on the beat paid at the Gambling House)

Indians
1 Sergeant Major
3 Sergeants
2 Acting Sergeants
30 Indian Constables.

Registrar General's Department
1 Chief Clerk
6 Clerks etc.
5 Head District Watchmen
1 District Watchman (exclusive of the Watchmen on the boat paid at the Gambling House)

Magistracy
2 Clerks.

Treasury
2 Clerks.

Page 37 appears to be missing, but the original page numbering is preserved as per the instructions.

# Actually, the last sentence should be removed as it is a comment, here is the corrected response:
