Death of Captain Sachse.

Police Constable (No. 23) in the Hong Kong Police Force who had served his full fifteen years tenure having joined on 12th August 1884 but tragically died just before he was about to retire on his pension and travel back home to the British Isles with his wife. He had previously served in the Irish Constabulary, the 93rd Highland Regiment and the Dundee Police Force before being posted to Hong Kong. 

He was an Assistant at Caldbeck MacGregor & Co.

"A couple of 'Japs' were fined $10 each for attempting to overturn a rickshaw in which was seated Mr Sherrington of Caldbeck, McGregor and Coy's Office. The 'Japs' were seamen belonging to the Müke Maru and yesterday, being under the influence of drink, they and three others were molesting people on the roadway near Hung Hom."
