SUPERINTENDENT.

It is desirable that he should reside as near to the Division
Station as circumstances permit ; his duty will require his frequent
attendance there. Applications for assistance and instructions
made at the Station will be referred to him ; and a more speedy
communication of all orders may be effected through him, tf be
shall be near the Station, to which, in the first instance, they must
be transmitted from the office. tie will be responsible for the
general conduct and good tarsier of the officers and men under hi,
charge. He should make himself well acquainted, by frequent
personal intercourse, with the inspectors and sergeants, and thruuAi
them, with the character and conduct of every man in the com-
pany under his orders ; and by a firm, but kind and conciliating
behaviour towards them on all occasions, make them understand,
that while neglect of duty can in no instance be passed over, every
indulgence consistent with their general efficiency will be at all
times shown to them.

He will take care that the Standing Orders and Regulations,
and all others given out from time to time, are promptly and
strictly obeyed. It is expected that he should himself actually see
a great deal done; but he must under.tand that he may be much
more efficient by giving instructions to the Officers under him,
and making them do their duty, than he can be by attempting to
do every thing himself. He must see that the duty is dour, am'.
will, if necessary, immediately report any neglect to the Com-
missioners.

He is responsible generally for every thing relating to the Po-
lice of his Division (keeping in mind that the grand object is the
menthols of crinee In every part of it). It h not wished to lay
out any precise course for the superintendent, our to say how mucis
of his time is to be passed in the active performance of his duties ;
but he will feel the importance of visiting some part of bis divi-
sion at uncertain hours every day and night.
He will make a daily inspection of the books at the Divisioa
Station, to see that the, are kept correctly ; carefully examine and
sign all Reports and Returns sent to the Office, and forward them
punctually at the appointed hours.
He will, according to his discretion, grant immediate assistaixe
from the men on duty at his station to all persons reqiiinng it,
where there is not time to refer to the Office for instruction..
In cases of complaints made against any of his men, if of a
trivial nature, he will award some punishment to the man, and
satisfaction to the party complaining, and report the whole imme-
diately to the Commissioners ; or if the offence be of a more serious
nature, he should at once report the whole to the Commissioners,
taking such immediate step, by suspending the man, or otherwise,
as may appear necessary.
It will be expected that he should at all times be able to furnish
the Commissioners with particular information respecting the site
of every part of his Division.
In observing, with especial attention, the actions of all suspected
persons within the Division, and in giving directions to his men
for this purpose, he will keep in mind. that the prevention ot
effuse, the great object of all their exertions, will be best attained
by making it evident to all such, that they are known and strictly
watched, and that certain detection will follow any attempt they
may make to commit the crime.
Upon any alarm of fire within the Division it becomes the
duty of the Superintendent immediately to repair to the spot, and
take the entire cootroul of the police force that may be assembled,
sending for those who are off duty. Immediate notice must be
given to the several Fire Offices. If the ►eys of the parish en-
gines are at the Division Station, they will be procured, and the
engines got out and brought to the fire; rendering such assistance
as may be in his power, Irons knowledge of fire plugs, procuring
water, &C.

The police will, perhaps, be moat useful in procuring a free
scope for the firemen's exertions, and the parties more immedi-
ately interested ; with this view he will clear the street or grout..l
in the immediate vicinity of the fire, of all persons not actively and
usefully employed, taking care that all the adjoining streets, as tar
as may be practicable, are kept clear of obstructions, by crowds,
or carriars, waggons, carts, &c. that the engines may not be sit -
layed on their road.
Every assistance possible must be given to the removal of pro-
perty, conformably with the wishes and suggestions of :he propnt
tors; and, if desired, such property buy be conveyed to the nearest
Poke Station or Residence, placing it under the protection of the
Police. _ _

_
A special attention must be directed at such times to the thieve•
and pickpockets, who are usually in the crowd.
Whenever the men may be called away from their beats by fire
or any sudden necessity, they shall be directed to return to their
regular duty as soon as they can be spared ; and the S-..rgeant wail
be sent with them, to see that no delay occurs in their return.
