I issued direct orders to the shroff and

my clerical staff that the former was not to collect any

money outside the office, and I draw attention to the circular which I taxxa issued to all firms concerned after giving the above orders. I submit that I had a right to expect that

those firms would act up to the terms of the circular, and

this expectation was justified in the case of the vast majority

of firma. I now find that four firms failed to do se - Messrs.

Jardine, Matheson & Co., Shewan Tomes and Co., Angard Thorensen

- but this fact was carefully & Co., and David Sassoon & Co.

concealed from me.

Here again, I gave most positive orders

that no receipts were to be signed until the money was received.

I now find that, in certain cases, these orders were dis- -regarded, but as above, the clerke concerned concealed the

fact from me. The documents do not become receipta until they aro signed, and according to my instructions they should not be signed until the money is paid. The forms used were already

printed in the form of a receipt in large numbers, and on the

score of economy I considered it advisable x to use up the old stock before getting now forms printed.
