and he said "if you have no account, that will do". When Mr Ward came and asked you to detroy these accounts, did he not offer to pay you. Why did he not offer to pay you, if he owed you all this money ?

He did not say how much the account was. He said if I had an account, I was to tear it.
Would it not have been much simpler for him to have 1866
paid you?
This was how it happened: The accounts are put down -
I was not there, and a foki would put them down. The fokia had no authority, and so they will put it down. If you were there, and Mr Ward bought something, I suppose you told the fokis not to put it down in the
books ?
Then I was there, the fokis would not attend to it. Then Mr Ward got what he wanted without it being
entered in the book ?

He had no money to pay, What is the good of putting 16
down ?
