It is very hard on me that after eighteen years of my hard, faithful, and horest service in the Force I should be suddenly dismissed, and deprived altogether of the emoluments I have honestly and faithfully earned, and I therefore bumbly pray and entreat that my respectful representation to His Excellency will meet with that considention which is due to a Government servant of ay long standing.
I have known Acting Sergeant No. 586, Urren Sinan, of the Hongkong Police for about eight years, and I consider him a man of very good character, sober and steady. He has been Drill Fascenctor to the Indians of the Force for some time,
