Senior Hong Kong policeman in the late 19th century

His son was Fred Horspool born in Hong Kong 1884.

"THE appointment of Mr. George Horspool, Acting Deputy Superintendent of Police, to be Acting Captain Superintendent, has been officially gazzetted. This is a step in the right direction and one that, we trust, will be consistently followed in all departments of the Government Service where the deputy is capable of taking over and efficiently performing the duties of his immediate chief."
