In reply to your letter of the 5th.

inst, asking me to give you details as to the character of

Inspector Sim, I have the honour to forward a list of cases

with which he was intimately connected during this year.

particular I would mention the murder of Lance Sergeant

Johnstone, The Happy Valley Diaster, the Greason Street Affray

In

& the Wood Road Robbery, all of which attracted very great

public attention. The Happy Valley Disaster was a most ghastly

affair for those whose duty it was to be present in clearing

the ground. Inspector Sim was present all the time, and

towards the close of clearing away the bodies, in order to try

and recover the body of the late Mr. Ah Wee, he volunteered to

go to the cemetery & personally assisted in opening up about

two hundred coffins to try and find Mr. Ah Wee's body. Con-

sidering the condition of the bodies at that time, this was a

proceeding that would well effect a stronger man than Inspector

Sin,

In the Gresson Street affair Inspector

Sim washighly commended by His Excellency the Governor for his

courage in chasing the armed robbers whilst being fired upon. The sight afterwards of his dead friends & comrades was one

that would haunt him for many a night.

This year crime seemed to concentrate in Inspector Sim's District, and Inspector Sim was very successful

in tracing up the offenders.

Many cases were such as would not

come before public notice but still the work was none the less, He was working very long hours and on account of the extra work

I stationed Detective Sergeant Cockle to assist him in enquiries I felt it my duty to compliment him in the way he had worked his district and cleared it to gange of criminals, and I had dis-

cussed with the other Superintendents the question of recommend-

-ing
