Harbour Master,
In the matter of Lai Wing-tak:-
It appears that he took the counterfoil books
every evening to the Assistant Harbour Laster, who compared the
counterfoils with the amounts entered by Lai in his own collection
book. The Assistant Harbour Master was in the custom of commencing
his scrutiny from the place where his initials last appeared on
the back of the counterfoil. The shroff accordingly took the opportu-

one last initialled by the Assistant Harbour Master, subsequently
erasing the forgery when the accounts had been passed. By this
method the shroff in one book of counterfoils alone took all but

some officer other than the shroff, but that this practice had also
been discontinued. Will you kindly let me know in what circumstances
and when the procedure was changed in these respects.
I understood from you that Kr. Chan Pui was supposed
to check the shroff's account, but he pointed to an instruction by Kr. Beckwith which, he claimed, relieved him of this duty. What in your opinion was hir. Chan Pui's responsibility in the matter?
D. Howfer is r. Lenfestey responsible for the Junk Office accounts, apart from Er. Chan Pui? Mr. Lenfestey has produced a memo. in which in May last he asked Mr. Chan Pui to send an officer to check the shroff's accounts, because they -
