that the amounts which reached the Treasury were credited to Government

and in support of my statement I beg to remind you that the payments on behalf of Crown Rent which reached the Cashier were correctly entered in the Collection books of each county and that the books of both Alves and the responsible shroff were duly paid into the Bank, a fact of which I satisfied myself by comparing them with the Bank receipts.

It is true that a comparison was made to explain why I failed in this duty and what steps I took with a view to discharging it.

In reply, I beg to state that I did fulfil my duty as Treasurer in seeing that the amounts which reached the Treasury were credited to Government.

The sums stolen by Alves never reached the Treasury. They were improperly paid by the Public to him personally, in his private room, without my knowledge.
