on out piquet.

Court Convictions . (161 combined with Punjabi Armed Police)
Remarks. The Detatchment of Indian Infantry was here until
Beginning of February 1927 when it was considered that the
present Force was sufficiently well disciplined and organised
to take over full responsibilities. Since that time I am glad
to report that no crime of a serious nature has occured and the
population as far as it is possible to ascertain are quiet and
confident and respect the present Force. I cannot speak too
highly of the loyalty and assistance given me by all ranks,
including members of the clerical staff. I think it speaks
very highly for the general behaviour of all ranks in Bahrain
and I have not had a single complaint about any one and that
in a place where a very large number of people are out to find
the slightest fault with the Police, I consider speaks for itself.
Jail.
During the year 1927-28 the following prisoners have been
dealt with in the State Jail.-
