Colonial Service Department should see this

Ordinance which affects the conditions of service

Section

of the Hong Kong police, particularly 7

(compulsory retirement) and Section 12 (including

(a) discipline, and (d) leave and passages)

As regards leave and passages, see (2) on

36019.C.R.. The duplicate of this despatch was

registered on 92658/32, Hong Kong leave and

passages file, (which, however, is at presant

in circulation -with D.C.A.

..)

Section 25.

The despatch to which

parathentical reference is made in the table

of correspondence, is evidently the Circular

despatch of 2/4/32, of which a copy is attached

before (1) on 91323/1/32 General.

Section 28.

I think that it is clearly

an advantage for it to be an offence to give

false information with intent to defeat or delay

the ends of justice.

In this connection see

"The Times" Law Report of 12th December, 1932 on

the case of Rex v.

Manley

-

copy attached. This

relates, however, only to information given to the

police in this country regarding a bogus crime and

I doubt if such a case would fall within the

definition of defeating or delaying the ends of

justice.

It might, perhaps, be worth while to

draw the attention of Hong Kong to this point

mentioning the case cited above.
