THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 16TMπ APRIL, 1870.

10. In spite of the break-down of the European and Chinese classes, I cannot think that the money so generously given I feel convinced that it will produce a good effect upon the character and neefuluess far the education of the Police, is wasted. of the force. If it does nothing more, it keeps 50 men from idleness, and retains a large portion of that number in the Polica 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 most obedient Servant.
