THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 17TH SEPTEMBER, 1879.
9. This decision may appear to press hardly upon P.C. FREEMAN, who, knowing the practice that had existed here for some years past, has not unnaturally calculated on receiving a discharge certificate marked "very good," though on two occasions during my brief administration of the Colony, he has been fined for neglect of night duties, yet I am sure every officer and man in the Police Force will understand that this decision points, on the other hand, to the fact that the Head of the Executive will not be indifferent to the faithful discharge of the night duties of the Police, and that the award of what- ever bonuses or promotions in the Police may be at my disposal, will depend, in no small degree, on the way in which each individual in the Force does his work in protecting the Colony at night.
J. POPE HENNESSY.
