The Inspector-General of Police to The Principal Under Secretary. Sir, Police Department, Inspector-General's Office, S.ydney, 9 J anua,ry, 1885.

I n accordance with the Colonial Secretary's instructions and clause No. 46 of the Regulations, I have the honor to submit this my eleventh annual Report, respecting the condition and working of the Police establishment for the year 1884.

Appended will be found the usual statement of the strength of the F orce, mounted and foot , together wit h the distribution of the same, on the 31st December.

Provision was made by Parliament for the increase of forty-two, of all ranks, to tIle Force during the year ; a sum of £3,000 was also voted for extra Police, as required.

Fifteen new Stations have been established at the places undermentioned :-District.

Station. Iluka. Naas. Wee J asper. Albion Park. Katoomba. Hartley Vale. Byerock. Mount Victoria. Mitchell's Creek. Ellalong. Silverton. Coobc. Tatalla. Birkenhead. Annandale.

Twenty-three additional men have been allotted to the Met ropolitan Districl, to which I propose to make a larger addition shortly, as more police are greatly needed, especially in the suburbs .

Additional police have also been provided at Newcastle and othel' places where most req ui red, although it has been out of my power to supply all the constables asked for, even when the demand has been admittedly reasonable.

Vacancies crea,ted as under have, together with the increa,se referred to, necessitated the appointment of 246 constables :-

}{es i~nation s Discharges Dismissals SuperannuationR . .. Deaths

92 19 28 25

6 These numbers, compared with those for the previous years, show a satisfactory decrease under

the first three heads, nttributable no doubt to the members of the Force valuing their employment now that the rate of pay is better.

Three police pensioners died during the year, whose ]1ensions, "arying from £54 to £100 pel' annum, amounted in all to £ 214 pel' annum.

Twenty-five members of the Force were superannuated during the year, ten receiving pensions varying from £ 96 to £ 192, in all £1,198 pel' annum, and fifteen receiving gratuities on discha.rge aggregating to £2,175.

Eight widows of members of the Force received gratuities amounting in all to £705, and t wo were awarded pension allowances of £40 and £50 per annum respectively.

The total income of the Police Reward and Supcrannuation Funds combined amounted to about £16,468; the charges, to about £12,ll4. 'l'he fund i~ therefore at present imprm·ing financially; but any accumulation s will be rapidly swcpt away when some of the old officcrs and men have to bc providcd for.

As tllC cnactment of the Criminal Law Amendment Act rendered necessary the revision of the legal instructions to the Police, and as a new edition of the RegulatioTtS was necessary, the book being out of print, Mr. Hanbury Davis, Barrister-at-Law, was instructed to revise the legal portion of the work, and I took the opportuni ty to reviRe t he l~ules framed in accordance with the Police Regulation Act, as they required amendment to meet t he altered circumstances of the Colony, and in other rcs·pects.

The Regulations have now received the sanction of the Executive Council, and having been printed, a copy will be issued to every member of the Police Force immediately.

Several circumstances 11 ave combined during the past year to prevent me from leaving town, except for brief pe riods, to inspect the country districts, but fOl'tunately with the facilities now afforded for t ravelling, I am able to vi sit outlying stations in a fraction of the t ime it formerly occupied to reach them. I have vi sited portions of the Southern, North-eastern, North-western, and Northern Districts.

The buildings provided for the Department-Officers' Quarters, Banacks, and Lock-ups-are generally of a most substantial character, and all I have inspected were maintained in first-class order. We have gradually increased the number of fenced paddocks, which in ordinary seasons are most useful, and economize the consumption of forage.

The police m·e now well armed, and the, tud is in a t horoughly serviceable condition, notwith-standing the difficulty experienced in procuring remounts.

The ex.tension of .the railway lines has lessened the duties of the police in regard to gold and other esco rts, also in ·the transmission of prisoners; but the rapid growth of settlement throughout tIle interior, and increase of pop ulation, have created a dem..'\nd for additional police protcction to a far greater extent than the saving in the respects indicated above. .

Iu operation the Imperial Fugitive Offenders Act has been found simple and efficacious, having materially diminished the chances of escape of offenders by flight from one Colony to another; but the Act has entailed a considerable increase in escort work upon the police in this and other Colonies.

There is a general impression that the Dog l t d is by )10 means rigidly enforl:ed; however, not only do the police cause a large number of persons to be summoned for nOll-registration, but I find that in the Metropolitan Di ·trict 1,702 dogs were destroyed during the past year by police agency, and about 800 in the country districts .

·With the Colonial Secretary's approyal an alteration is now being effected in the undress or bush uniform of the JYiounted P olice, for the greater comfort and convenience of the men when engagcd in long and trying bush journeys. Leather gaiters have been substituted for Napoleon boots, as the latter are difficult to keep clean, and to get on and off in wet weather; pockets have been added to the serge jumper, to enable a man to carry papers and small articles required for his own use. This uniform, with a pith helmet in hot weather, will prove serviceable and add considerably to the comfort of the men.

The Criminal Statistics for the Colony for the year 1884 have not yet been compiled, but I have been able to obtain some figures regarding the Metropol itan District w11ich are of interest. 23,458 persons were taken into custody during the year 18tl4, showing an increase of 1,627 on the arrests for the prel"ious year. Returns not having been yet complcted, comparisons cannot be made of the various ch"tsses of oft"e11 ces; but, allowiug for the large increase ill population, the figures do not exhibit a favourable condition of affairs.

'rhe total Humber of persons taken iuto custody for drunkenness, or offences of which intoxication formed part of the charge, amounted to 13,925 in 1884, as compared with 13,312 in fhe previous year, the increase not being out of proportion relatively to the increase in the population; but the number of arrests unckr thi s head is still C'x('('ssi\"o, and n.tro l"ll ~ sll{Jicient evideuce to provEl that intemperance i ~ unfortunately not deoreasing in the city.

No marked change has taken place during the year in the enforcement and. ob~ervance of tllO Licensing Act . Sunday trading is still very common, and owing to the extreme watchfulness of and precautions taken by holders of licenses who evade the la ll", it is a matter of extreme difficulty to apply a more effective check. There lVere 238 prosecution s against publican s for this offence during the year-93 for selling during prohibited hours, and 416 for other offences ; a decrease on the number for th previous year of 21 cases in all. . There was a slight decrease in the number of persons arrested by the police for drun kellness allit offences in connection therewith on S lllluays, i.e. , from aturday midnight to midnight on Sunday, till figures being 1,086 in 1883, allcl1,065 in 1tl84.

'l.'here has been no appl'E'c iftble diminution in offences against good order in the city during the Pll "t year, thoug h perhaps on the whole phces of public; rr~() ' t , f'l'cqucn tC'd during holiday-times, have bCC'1I more orderly than formerly, attributable perhaps to a great extent t o the increased police 'upervisioJl ; still active measnres will be necessary, with an increa~ed P olice Force, to suppress disorderly COndll(· which proyails amongst an idle, dissolute, ancl lawless class in the community.

The existence of such a class is an e\"il which all right-minded members of the community sboulll combine to remove. I have imprcssed upon the omccr~ of poli ce the nccessi t~- for a more searchil1~ im-estigation into the conditions in which the youth of both ~excs are lil'ing, in order that, if practicahl (l , a greater number of those who are being llurtured ill vicu 1lla.y be withdrawn from contamination IU II \ reclaimE'cl by the di scipline and training of the IndU81Tial Schools 01' Hcful"11l atori es.

Increased means of repression \Iill be prov ided by an additional Police Force, but the root of t hi e,iIlies too deep to be eradicated by a mere enforcement of the law.

Amongst other schools of vi ce the dancing. saloon is probably Olle of the most pernicioll Practically they are at present unconirolled, thOllgh ]lo~~ibly unde l' section 153 of the MuuicipaIitieH }\ d (31 Vic. No . 12) they might be regul ated by license as " places of mnuscll1ent ." Legi 'lation wOll l.1 however be desirable to giye mOl·e defini te powel's of inspection and rC'gulation . Complaints are con 'ian t I made t o me of the disorderly, immoral, and obscene behayiour of people frequenting such saloons, bll t II is impracticable to apply a remedy, unless the circumstances justify proceedings at commOll law r ill" public nuisn.llce.

There arc at the present Lime no less than 26 (bne-ing s::\Ioo))S in the metropolitan distri ct, 14 in t ill city, and 12 in the suburbs. Tl' ll

'1' n 0'[ nd 1'/\ hav b ' n sentcnced during the year to whipping, under the 44,6th sect.i un of t ho ,," inu l Law Amell dment. Act, l\ lld from an analysis of offences which came within the category speciflod I II section of the enactment referred to, it is noticeable that the number of arrests for such decreased

.11\ lIinety-nine ill 1883, to sixty-eight in 1884; too much significance shonld not however be attached I "llull figures, as they are very fluctuating. I need scarcely say I do not wish to be understood as " plying that whipping sentences would have been justified in any larger number of cases than those in 1\I~·h it was awarded.

-With regard to the office 8taff of the Department, I am pleased to report in the most commendatory ' I IIH. It is now thoroughly efficient, arrears of work are unknown, and notwithstanding the enormous

III' " ase of business, the cost of the establishment is less now than it WiLS twenty-five years ago. The conduct of the members of the Police .Force has, on the whole, been extremely good, punish-

ifi ll I s are becoming more rare, and the efficiency of the police is fl'eq uently commended by the Magistracy luI others who have had opportunities of judging.

I have the honor to be, Sir,

A.

Your most obedient servant, EDMUND FOSRERY,

Inspector-Genera,l of Police.
