Notes from Adam:

Charles Vandeleur Creagh is also worth adding to the list of Police Magistrates, although he only fulfilled that duty in an acting role from time to time. He was an important but negelected figure in Hong Kong's history, having brought the first Sikh policemen to HK from India, worked as Walter Deane's number two and led the Fire Brigade for some years. He was later Governor of British North Borneo.
