[66] Dunlop had been 3rd Assistant to the Master Attendant of the Government Dockyard, and was appointed head of the Water Police in 1844. Prior to that year no proper water police force was in existence. [67] Gazetteer of Bombay City and Island, Vol. III, 252; _Times of India_, January 2nd, 1865; Annual Adm. Rep.

[73] Apparently it was customary during the Muharram festival in the ’fifties of last century to post a body of 200 Europeans in “the Bhendy Bazar stables”. Presumably additional European police were brought in from Poona and other districts. The Muharram danger was finally eradicated in 1912. [74] The Gazetteer of Bombay City and Island, Vol. II, 158.

[80] The use of the phrase “Deputy Commissioner of Police” is explained by the fact that, strictly speaking, the Senior Magistrate was at this date Commissioner of Police, and Forjett as head of the “executive police” was his Deputy. Forjett in his book speaks of himself as Commissioner of Police: but this title was not given to the head of the force till 1865. In the Senior Magistrate’s Annual Crime Return for 1860 Forjett is styled Superintendent of Police: but in his evidence before the Supreme Court in the Bhattia Conspiracy Case, Forjett stated, “In my official capacity as Deputy Commissioner of Police, I received a letter.” [81] In earlier days one of the chief haunts of these gangs was a deep hollow near the site of the present Arthur Crawford Market (J. M. Maclean, _Guide to Bombay_, 1902, p. 206.) [82] Gazetteer of Bombay City and Island, II, 244; Ann. Adm. Rep. Bombay Presidency, 1858-59. [83] C. Forjett, _Our Real Danger in India_. [84] F. H. Forjett joined the 59th Foot in 1865 and in 1870 was transferred to the Bombay Staff Corps. He served mostly in the 26th Bombay N. I., which in the “seventies” and “eighties” was known familiarly as the “Black Watch”, owing to its having no less than three Eurasian British officers, namely John Miles, the Commandant, a half-caste of dominating personality, John M. Heath and F. H. Forjett. [85] C. E. Buckland, _Dictionary of Indian Biography_. [86] J. Douglas, _Bombay and Western India_, I, 211. [87] Letter to _Morning Post_, August 30th, 1921. [88] Prior to 1865 there appear to have been 26 mounted police.
