Mr. Gent,
I attach a copy of a report by Mr.
Hamilton (Assistant Auditor in Hong Kong) to
the Acting Auditor regarding this loss of cash,
which gives more information about the case
than is contained in the Governor's despatch.
I think that a further explanation is required
with reference to :
(a) The responsibility for the apparently in-
adequate system for the safe custody of the key.
(b) Any reason why the officer responsible for
the safe custody of the cash should not be held
responsible for the loss.
