The text appears to be a historical document discussing the role of an Auditor and Treasurer in the context of Hong Kong's government finances. Here is the corrected HTML output:

The Lord Auditor Audit of Revenue is intended not to shield the Treasurer of responsibility, but to force his responsibility, that is to say, that the Treasurer is responsible for the collection, receipt, and safe custody of Government money.

If the Auditor finds that the Revenue is being defrauded in the County of neglect, the Treasurer is culpable, for which he is censurable.

A Local Auditor is not permitted to ignore this law, but to fulfil it. It is essential that all Treasurers should understand this.

Sir W. Robinson, in dealing with the reply to this, was not in the correct position.

The relevant proposition is that in all Colonies & Commissioners he has had to do with, it is the early-first task of the Treasurers & to look after Revenue, and of the Auditor to check Expenditure.
