Mr. Hore's mistress Autouin da Silva, who accepted a bribe of $... which was raised in 1896 to $2 per diem. Mr. Hore and Interpreter Autored da Silva both alleged that Mr. Hore knew nothing of this bribery. The Executive Council did not take this view & with one dissentient wire agreed to his dismissal from the service.
The reasons of the Council's decision are fully given in this Despatch. I though the evidence is purely circumstantial, I think they decided rightly. The strong points against Hore are:
(1) That Mr. Hore visited her frequently after his first visit. I quite agree with Sir Henry Warrington 503 that although the evidence in this case is almost entirely circumstantial, it is sufficient to justify the Council in the conclusion at which they arrived.
Hore's plea that it was not his duty to report Mr. Cresswell's gaming house is not valid; he might as well say it was not his duty to report the gamblers.
(2) His contention that it was not part of his duties to report gaming houses is not valid.
(3) The owners of the gambling-house must have paid the briber many times if they had not felt assured that the money was being unlawfully spent. (4) He must be held responsible for his associations with a woman who was bribed to the detriment of the gov't. I confirm his dismissal.
P.C.M. 4/10/97. It is ridiculous; a rather wonder that this was not in itself made the ground for a separate charge against him, that he is altogether unfitted for a position of responsibility.
This of course is conceivable that Mr. Hore might not have known that his "housekeeper" was receiving bribes. Freak things have happened before...
