whether the amount misappropriated or any portion of it be recovered, and from whom such recovery made. It has been ascertained that Alves is practically insolvent, his property being mortgaged for more than its full value, and as the Crown has, as I am informed, no preferential claim, there is no prospect of recovering any portion of the defalcations from his estate. Mr Lister, who is dead, was treasurer during the first six months of 1888, Mr Wodehouse relieved him till January 18th 1890, when Mr Lister resumed duties from that date until the 24th of June of the same year. Mr Wodehouse acted again till the end of the year. Mr Mitchell-Jones was appointed Treasurer and assumed duties in 1891 and he has been in charge of the office since then up to date with the exception of six months' leave in 1892, during which Mr Wodehouse acted for him, drawing full salary for the first four months and half salary for the remainder of the period.

4. Prima facie, Mr Lister's estate and his sureties, to the extent of the bond of $10,000 given for the faithful discharge of his duties, are liable for the amount misappropriated during the period he was Treasurer.
