Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police.
P. C. FREEMAN was in charge of Hung Hòm
Station. At 10 P.M. he ought to have sent the
Indians on duty. At midnight the Inspector of the District visited the theatre at Tò Kwa Wan,
arrested a man, and found no Constable there.
He went to Hung Hom, and found FREEMAN and
the Indians (who ought to have been on duty) in their beds.

Minute by His Excellency the Governor.
I do not quite understand the last paragraph in the Captain. Superintendent's letter, of the Ist of May, 1879. Ask him to explain what he means by saying "I enclose his (JOHN FREEMAN's) "character roll, which would count for ten years
• service as very good.”
J. POPE HENNESSY.
14th May, 1879.
Report by the Captain Superintendent of Police.
I have the honour to report that the amplified
meaning of the paragraph referred to is to this
effect:---
JOHN FREEMAN has served ten years, and re- ference to his character roll shows that during that period of service he has only been fined on three occasions, and that on none of those occa- sions did the fine amount to $10 (which sum denotes a “serious offence”). Therefore, as the number of offences are few when the number of years he has served are considered, his character on his discharge certificate would be marked “very good.”
W. M. DEANE,
Captain Superintendent of Police.
Minute by His Excellency the Governor. 1. In this case it rests with me to decide whe- ther P. C. JOHN FREEMAN, who was enlisted in our Police Force ten years ago in Hongkong and who is now retiring on pension, should receive the three months' pay (as a sort of gratuity in addi- tion to the pension) amounting to $120, being the sum he can receive under section 3 of Ordinance 8 of 1869, or whether the greater favour of giving him $250 (payable to Constables enlisted in the United Kingdoin) should be allowed to him.
