Report on M B Hall's Complaints agst
Sub Inspector Johnston

Sir
I have the honor to return
herewith the letter and affidavit
of Michael Bird Hall, in which he
made certain charges against Sub
Inspector Johnstone of the Native Police;
together with Sub Inspector Johnstone's
reply - copy of proceedings of an investigation
held by Mr Inspector Morisset- Mr Morissets
Report of the case and some other
documents connected with it, from
all of which it appears that there
is no foundation for the charges
preferred. Hall did not atend the
enquiry nor attempt in any way to
substantiate the charges he made
although he received due notice.
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your most obedient servant
