with which Petitioner

and

I would briefly note for your consideration a few of the points suggested by these documents, bearing most intimately, as it appears to me, on the question of the justice or injustice,

a Police Officer of exceptional standing, high character (as witness Captain May's own certifi- cate, and many others, page 14 and 12 of printed Appendix) has been treated; a treatment which has led to the entire extinc- tion of the rewards and emoluments to which he was entitled after 18 years unsullied service, during which his services were rewarded by steady promotion (page 13 and page 9 of Appen- dix)

As I above remarked, it is to be borne in mind that I have not before me any of the documents forming the record (whether judicial or administrative I hardly know) upon which Petitioner has been condemned; but this, it must also be borne in mind, is not apparently Utter Singh's fault.

(A) Utter Singh states that he has reason to believa that the representattion made to the Honble, Superintendent

about his alleged complicity in lending transactions was made in the shape of an anonymous petition (petition of 12th. March, 1897, par. 5. page 14, Appendix)

(B) Having had good promotion, Utter Singh seems to con- sider he was regarded with jealousy in the Indian section of the force (Appendix last quoted)

(c) He alleges he was never definitely informed of the exact nature of the charges made against him (Appendix last quoted)

(D) He respect fully dubmits he had not full opportunity

of meeting these charges. (Appendix last quoted)
