Sir

I have the honour to submit my name to your notice for favourable consideration having now completed 10 years 1 month & 13 days probation out of 12 years 10 months & 15 days. I have been a Constable about 2 years and during the whole term of my probation have had but 2 reports for breach of rules.

I have been under to mayhew now for several months and I hope I every day that I have given him every satisfaction.

I can but ask that I may, like others, have a trial on my ticket of leave, and at this moment I feel assured you will have no future cause to regret the leniency

The Hon$ble$ The Acting Compt. General
