Tribute From His Chief.

A tribute to the work of the de purting officer was paid by, Mr. T. H. King. Director of Criminal In- telligence, in making the presenta tion. He said it was another of those occasions which was tinged with regret and pleasure-regret that they were losing, senior officer, who held the esteem, regard and goodwill of the whole Force, with both senior and junior officera alike, and pleasure as they know that he was going home on a well- earned, and they trusted, a good long pension.

Mr. King continued that Inspector Pain was a good citizen of London Town, but he could quite imagine "that he rebelled against the grime, smoke and dirt and decided to seek the open spaces in South Africa. He spent eight years there, taking part in the Boer War and later serving with the Transvaal Police. In 1908 he arrived, in Hong Kong and soon made many friends. He felt sure that Inspector Pain liked Hong Kong, for he remembered that he did not want to go home on leave from that time to 1920.

Speaking of the officer's service in Hong Kong, Mr. King recalled the award of a medal in 1919 for arresting armed robber in dan- gerous circumstances. He said that Inspector Pain had also demonstrat ed his ability in other ways, and lately he was appointed to take charge of the Shameen Force during the absence of the Superintendent, a task. which he performed, with marked success

Sub-Inspector Pain accepted the gifte amid loud applause.
