of the 27th.ultimo and 12th.instant,

I have the honour

to recormend Dr.C...cI. euser for the post of Cpatain

Luperintendent of Police, Cuperintendent of Victoria

Gaol, and Luperintendent of the Fire Brigade in the

event of your deciding to move r.r.J._adeley to another

appointment.

For the appointment in question, the only

other eligible candidate in this Colony is Ar.4.R.

Hallifax. r.Hallifax is junior in the service to

r.liessor. He has the advantage over r.eseer in

having had sole experience in the Police Department.

But such experience has been principally confined to

the New Territories, where r.Lesser has also had much

experience bringing him into close contact with the

Police there.

3.

Equable

On the other hand, of the two officers I

consider r.Lesser the more able. He possesses several

qualities which, in my opinion, eminently fit him for

the post for which I now recommend him. He has a

extraordinarily cheerful and vzpvrbis temperament and

great moral courage. The worries inseparable from

the command of a mixed force like the liongkong Police,

will not affect him nor will the criticisms of an

inorant Press, always prone to take the side of the

European
