In the English service more liberal terms are given. An English policeman can absolutely retire on a pension equal to two-thirds of his pay after 26 years of service. He has to contribute to the fund though I think his service, which is long, deserves more consideration for promotion.
Under this heading it may be noted that the principle of selection for the European contingent has been practically dropped, and promotion by seniority substituted. The traditional practice of the force, as I have always understood it, is that if a man has given complete satisfaction he should have his promotion by seniority when his chance comes, but that if the Captain Superintendent has not been altogether satisfied with him, he has no right to complain if he is passed over.
This is the principle which I have kept in view, and it is the one which I have always supposed my predecessors to have followed as a matter of fact. I have personally reviewed all the promotions. The fact that I saw fit to recommend for promotion one or two whom others might have been inclined to pass over is no proof that I have abandoned any principle.
In the case in question, I think my recommendations were supported by my documentation, most of which has been criticised at the time. I elaborated my views personally before submitting those recommendations to the Governor for approval, as is usual in any such case.
I never heard about the senior inspector having been posted to the western district. If I had known about it, I might not have considered myself bound by it. It is a matter of opinion whether such a posting is important or not. Naturally, it would be placed there as a matter of course.
