of there were granted pensions at the time and others subsequently by order of the Secretary of State.
Amongst those granted pensions, the cases of Sergeants McIver and Macauley were similar to mine in every respect. Their service in the Force was much longer and the evidence against them was similar to that against me.
I came to the conclusion that the Captain Superintendent was greatly prejudiced against me because soon after my dismissal I applied for a bonus of three months' pay to which I was entitled on completion of a term of five years' good conduct.
On making this application, the Captain Superintendent asked me what I had done with all the money received from gratuities, and, on my denying that I had ever received any, he tore up my application in my presence. Later, on my applying to the Hong Kong Colonial Secretary, the bonus was paid to me.
About this time, I also received my pay from July 13th to August 20th, 1894, for which period I was off duty.
Shortly after my dismissal in 1897, I left Hong Kong and took steps, as other officers who had been dismissed had done, to obtain a proper consideration of their cases. Nevertheless, no action was taken.
In July 1898, I applied to Mr. May for some recompense for the services I had rendered, and Mr. May replied that I had been a fool for others' benefit, and that he could not recommend me for any compensation.
Later, in 1899, when I heard that the others who had been dismissed had been granted pensions, I addressed a petition to the Right Honorable Joseph
