which done, the matter would have been settled, or not done, your Grace's instructions would have been asked.
As to the steps to be taken, it had not been the practice here to call upon any but the principal Officers in receipt of public monies to give security, but as soon as the fact of defalcations in the Harbor Master's Department was brought to my notice, I at once ordered all persons receiving such money to enter into the requisite Bonds, as reported to your Grace in my despatch No. 414 of 11th April 1860.
Among these was Mr. Caldwell, who, however, either through neglect or inability to find sureties, had not completed the Bond by the date of the alleged Robbery.

Of the $2,011 Mr. Caldwell has refunded $880, leaving $1,131, or £235.12.6, still unrecovered. He shall be called upon forthwith to liquidate this outstanding balance.
