The prisoner has only been 2 years in the service, Another reason is that Mr d'Aquino gives heavy gourity for his good condust, and the prisoner none. Then again the impression appears to have been made by some person afraid to make a polas; the impressions are very faint. Mr of being heard working the press, as anyone d'Aquino would have no reason to be afraid would conclude he was working the leather, ter impressions, being an old stamper. Mr I also think that be would have made bat d'Aquino bears a very good charactor. If he had wished to commit a fraud some years ago, he could have done so with per- fect asfety, as it is only owing to the ime provements which I have made in keeping the accounts that I am able to speak a positively as at present. I would like the one remanded until the summons caso be disposed of.
Mr Francis said that he was not quite clear that the prisoner, even if guilty of the offence with which he was charged, could be convicted of enbezzlement; and he (Mr Francis) would, if he remanded the case, ask the opinion of the Attorney General, He would also not fool jussed in fungere from Hongkong on the morning of the prisoner reasonable ball.
