The deficit on 30th November, 1919, in the Police
Accounts would therefore appear to be £29,931.47.

At the request of the Colonial Secretary I under- took to try and trace the various advances made by the ex-police accountant to various members of the force. I have gone through a book kept by Chan Pui for a period of six months prior to his absconding, in which he kept some kind of record of his various transactione. This book was apparently a private one and was not authorised by the Treasury, and I doubt whether the Captain Superintendent of Police was cognizant of its existence. The number of advances I have noted in the period under review is about 1,200, of which I believe some were authorised by the Captain Superintendent of Police and the remainder were made by Chan Pui on his own initiative. Chen Pui informed me (when he was under remand) that it had been customary for the Police
Accountant to augment his selery to the extent of $100 to $150 a month from interest derived from these unauthorised advances.

on the propriety of the Captain Superintendent of Police making
these advances, but I do consider that once having authorised
these payments sufficient supervision should have been made to
see that repayment was duly made and the monies paid into the
Bank, as there could be no other check on the accountant. For
instance, in the month of June refunde of advances, refunds by Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, &c. to the extent of 89,451.72 are shown in this account book and at the same time advances,&c. were paid
out to the extent of $7,833.40, but there is no trace of the balance of $1,618.32 having been paid into the Government. On the debit side no particular advance can be traced, except with one or two exceptions, the amounts being shown in lump sums. It would be of interest if some of the officers were called upon to explain some of these transactions. After a careful study of the accounts I have come to the conclusion that the advances of
