Enclosure I

1895

Extract from Minutes of Executive Council Meeting

of 29th. November, 1911.

R 19 JAN 12

Council advised that the efficiency of the

control and management of the Police Department by its Senior

Officers, both under recent conditions prevailing in the Colony,

and previously in regard to the suppression of Crime (when Mr. Badeley was present) gave cause for misgiving, and did not

command confidence. Council was of opinion that unless confidence

were restored it would be advisable that an officer should be

appointed to the Police from outside.
