Dismissal Appeal

I am dismissed innocently, the charge brought against me are false and illegal, as no such charge of absence from duty or of any other sort has been brought against me during my last 6 years service, and the Head of the Sanitary Department has not investigated the matters stated in my statement. I have done my duty properly according to various clauses of my standing orders. The standing orders are old and defective in respect of the work required from various Hill District Contracts, i.e., conservancy and scavenging contracts for the Hill District, many clauses of which do not coincide with the clauses of Peak Watchmen's standing orders, but yet he is responsible to see that work is done properly. The Sanitary Authority have not seen that the conditions of the Peak Watchmen's standing orders are corrected from time to time according to work required from him. I have served in Kowloon for 13 months and am very thankful to Mr. Pearse and Inspector Brown who always entered in my standing orders all changes occurring from time to time for my guidance, and these gentlemen have been commending me for good work, but on the Peak, through the lack of guidance, I have done more work than is required of a foreman.

Grievances Against Inspector Fisher

Inspector Fisher has not been punished for violating condition No. 7 of my standing orders, as he has been taking more hours of work from me than required by condition No. 7. When he visited the Peak District, he always called me to come out on duty 2 or 3 hours early and never gave any remuneration for the extra hours. A few months ago, the present Chinese Peak foreman, whose duty is from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., was on 10 days leave, and I was ordered to do his work in addition to mine, thus for 10 days I remained on duty from 8 a.m. till 4 p.m. without receiving any remuneration; this whole incident has been entered in the diary.

Motivation Behind the Charges

The charges brought against me are only a plot perpetrated by some Indian money lenders to take revenge from me for some religious causes known as Sikh Temple affairs, who have deserted...
