W. M. DEANE,
Captain Superintendent of Police.
Minute by His Excellency the Governor.
1. I return the Police Books-Volumes eleven and twelve, showing the duties for 1876 and 1877-which I have perused, together with the Report of Mr. DEANE and the Returns he was good enough to prepare at my request on the night duties of the Police Force.
2. Those documents confirm the suspicions I entertained that the night beats in this Colony are undermanned.
3. They also show that in the most important District the number of the Police on regular beats between midnight and six o'clock in the morning has been reduced since 1876, in the case of the European Force, from 14 to 8, and in the case of the Chinese Force from about 20 to 15.
4. The Captain Superintendent also says that he has rarely enough men to fill all the beats, and that in such cases he has to order one man to take charge of two beats.
