THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TH APRIL, 1870.
10. In spite of the break-down of the European and Chinese classes, I cannot think that the money so generously given far the edrestion of the Police, is wasted. I feel convinced that it will produce a good effect upon the character and usefulness of the force. If it does nothing more, it keeps 50 men from idleness, and retains a large portion of that number in the Polies Barracks, where their services are always available in cases of Fire and other emergencies.
11. In conclusion, I have to thank all the officers of the Police Force, for the readiness with which they have furnished me with all I have required, and for their constant support in assisting me in carrying on my duties. I am, Sir, Your mes obedient Servant.
C. V. CREAGH, Esq., Acting Captain Superintendent of Police, &c.,
