I have the honour to forward for
your consideration the correspondence noted in the annexed
schedule concerning defalcations which occurred in the
Harbour Master's Department in October last.
2.
The loss to the revenue is
$3,856.32, but of this sum $1,500 has been recovered from
the sureties of the absconding shroff. There remains thera-
-fore a loss of $2,356.32.
3.
You will see from my minutes which
form enclosures to this Despatch that I am unable to
exonerate the Head of the Department from some share of
responsibility for this loss of Government money, and it
follows that I am unable to request your sanction to write
off the whole amount as a charge against the Revenue. After
careful
HE RIGHT HONOURABLE
LEWIS HARCOURT,
