Excellency The Governor brought the above subject to the notice of the Executive Council.
The Council advised His Excellency that you were clearly liable, and that a dangerous precedent would be established if your defensive pleas were admitted; that you neglected to exercise proper check on your shroff, whose mere statement is all that is given to show that the money was in the chest on the evening of the robbery; that ordinary control or supervision would have enabled you to know the insecurity of the chest, and that sufficient attention was not paid by you to the demand for Bond made from this Office.
Under these circumstances, His Excellency with the advice of the Council called upon you to pay the amount of the deficiency into the Treasury, leaving you to take such steps as you might be advised to take against the shroff or his sureties.
