I forward his recommendation, & request Your Lordship to cause him to be furnished with copies of the latest Instructions issued to the Governors of Crown Colonies.
If Your Lordship sees no objection, I propose to authorise the Auditor General to discontinue the pre-audit of pay abstracts as proposed by him.
I have the honour to be,
Your Lordship's Most obedient Servant,

Auditor General's Report
Audit Office, Hong Kong, 19th January, 1898
I am under the impression that the copies of Instructions regulating the mode of keeping and rendering accounts, which were supplied for my guidance when in Cyprus, were of a much more recent period than those now in the Audit Office of this Colony which are dated 1874. Many of the provisions of these instructions have become obsolete, and others might be improved.
