Enclosure No.2.
18
Hon. Colonial Secretary.
1. I have to report four further defalcations by the Radio shroff Chan Yik Shing.
On the 4th November a cheque for $686.50 from Chase Bank was paid into Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank to the Radio Office
account.
On 6th November a cheque for $87.22 from Imperial Chemical Industries (China) Ltd. was paid in.
On 7th November a cashier's order for $503.16 from the
Banque Franco Chinoise was paid in.
On 9th November a cheque for $159.96 from Osaka Shosen
Kaisha.
2. These che ques were all enumerated in the paying-in slips signed by the Assistant Accountant, Mr. Reed. The books were never posted up, however, and the defalcations only come to light when a second demand for payment was addressed to
the Banque Franco Chinoise.
3. The shroff appears to have paid the cheques in against cash and withdrawn cash correspondingly.
(SD) H. R. Butters.
