With reference to the complaint made against

Jemadar Gulab on the 18th. instant, I beg to submit the follow-

-ing report.

About 11.30 p.m. I accompanied Sergeant

Murison by a round about route to Tung Wa Lane. As we were about to enter the lane C.C. 159, appeared and informed us that the Jemadat had arranged to meet him at 11.45 p.m. We entered the lane, and concealed ourselves in a dark place at the bottom

of some steps. About 12.30 a.m. the C.C. entered the lane from

Cochrane Street and examined the lane with his lantern. He then

left the lane by the same way as entered, and returned almost immediately in company of Jemadar Gulab. They both went to a recess on the East side of the top of the steps where I wan

lying concealed and there held a whispered conversation. They then both gifted to a doorway on the West side of the same steps, almost immediately opposite. The C.C. left the doorway apparently th examine the lane to make doubly sure that no one

was about, the Jemadar remaining in the doorway until the C.C. returned. I then heard a short conversation, and afterwards saw

the C.C. shine his lantern into the doorway. The Jemadar was standing facing outwards his tunic, and trousers were unbuttoned and his penis exposed. The flashing of the lantern being the

signal arranged upon we both ran up the few steps and con- -fronted "Gulab", I asked him "what is the meaning of this" but received no reply. Sergeant Murison told him to button his

clothing up and to accompany us to the station.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) A. Terratt,

P.S.
