This is in fact the primary duty of all Treasurers, and it was obviously the primary duty to which you were appointed at the beginning of 1891 and for which you have since been receiving your salary.
But the Governor with great surprise and regret reports that, according to the report of the Commission and the evidence recorded by them, so far from having taken any steps to fulfil your duty of ensuring that the revenue which reached your office was placed to the credit of the Govt., neither by checking your books nor in any other way, have you done so. His Excellency further learns that the result of this neglect of duty on your part has been that many appropriations in the Treasury which commenced before you assumed charge remained undetected for years and continued on a large scale during your tenure of office.

His Excellency has decided that it is not necessary, as the books have been brought up to date and, in view of other circumstances, His Excellency is satisfied that there is no such risk of further misappropriations of public moneys in the Treasury as to necessitate your interdiction from office.
