venture to invite Your Lordship's attention to paragraph

10 of Lord Knutsford's Despatch No. 189 of the 4th.October,

1889

from which I infer that it was the intention under

the new system that the Local Auditor should devote his

attention personally to the checking of receipts as well as

other duties and I have no doubt that this would have been

more emphasized had the subsequently exposed inefficiency

of an Audit Department which was practically composed of

Portuguese Clerks been known at the time.

I have the honour to be,

My Lord,

Your Lordship's most obedient,

humble servant,

Governor,&C..
