MCG 22 IN 47

Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police,

Hon. Colonial Secretary.

204

This man's time is up to-morrow and if he is

to remain in the Force he will have to be re-enlisted for a

further term of 5 years on Monday.

Convinced as I am of the genuineness of the

list of bribed persons, and believing the statements of Sam

Yin which I have not yet found inaccurate in any particular,

I am of opinion that under no circumstances should Sergeant

Phelps be re-enlisted. The man Tang Lo Sau absconded from

the Colony after Sam Yin's conviction. He was a loafer about

gambling houses as described by Sam Yin.

At the same time on the meagre evidence before

I am not prepared to make my further recommendation. The question of his pension & passage home (

consider that it is most undesirable to have a number of unemployed ex Policeman loafing about the Colony) is one which

I must leave to the decision of the Government.

I annex his character roll & skeleton pension

paper.

(Sa.) F.H.May.

4.9.97.
