Enclosure No. 5.]

Extract paragraph 57 of the Bombay Excise Administration Report for the year 1909.10.

57.

Illicit transport, possession and sale (of intoxicating drugs) show an increase of 124 cases chiefly in Bombay (193). The increase in Bombay was due to the fact that 221 cases of illicit transport, possession and sale of cocaine were detected during the year under report against 34 in the previous year. The very large increase in the number of such cases detected is due to the system of night patrols introduced in the cocaine hawking areas. In Surat and Ahmedabad the number of such cases detected was 7 and 3, respectively. This deadly drug is yet happily unknown to the people in several districts.

Enclosure No. 6.]

Extract paragraph 10 of the Resolution by the Government of Bombay No. 629, dated the 21st January 1911.

10. The Excise staff have had increased success in the detection of illicit dealings in cocaine though these efforts are hampered by defects in the law and regulations. These defects are in the course of being removed, but no real progress can be made in suppressing this pernicious traffic until assistance is obtained from the countries where the drug is produced.
