On several occasions to the necessity of having the book balanced. The latter however denies this.

10. To the second letter of the Colonial Secretary the Treasurer replies in effect that the only neglect of duty with which he can properly be charged consists in his not having had the rent roll for 1890 balanced, the checking of receipts has always been regarded as the duty of the Auditor, and that in his letter of March 2nd 1892 (Copy of which was duly forwarded to Lord Knutsford) he pointed out "systematic checking of receipts" could not be properly performed by the Treasurer with his existing staff.

11. In the separate despatch which he has addressed to Your Lordship he states that then duty of checking receipts is not part of the Treasurer's duties, but devolves solely on the local Auditor, and he again refers to his letter of March 24th 1892.

He regrets at not having expressed having had the rent roll balanced and as regards the fact that Alves habitually received Government money without its being recorded, he says it was bad and that if he had known it, it would probably have been stopped.
