Sir,
I have the honor to report for the
information of His Excellency the
Lieutenant Governor, the men named
in the margin, have tendered their
resignations as non commissioned
officers in the Native Police.

I beg to forward a copy of the
Agreements entered into by men when
they join the Native Police Corps- At
the same time I must remark that
the men wishing to resign did not
this year sign the usual agreement

The men leaving at this particular
time will be of much inconvenience
to the Service as I shall have much
difficulty in replacing them.

I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient Servant
H E Pultney Dana
