Report of Committee of Executive Council.

Hon. Colonial Secretary,

225

As directed we hold an enquiry into the

charges against Mr. Tan Chung Hing and Mr. Chan Pui Sam, which

are contained in your letter of the 9th. Tovember, 1910, enclo-

-sing an extract from a minute (paragraphs 3 and 4) by the

Harbour Master dated the 3rd. of November, 1910.

As we are of opinion that 0.3.0.Circular

of the 14th. December, 1909, and the Treasury Circular of the

18th. idem did not concern the parties and we are not satisfied

that either of the Circulars was, or as a fact would in the

ordinary course be, brought to their notice, the only question

which we had to consider was whether the charge of disobeying

the "arbour Master's orders that no receipts were to be sigred

in his office until the money was received had been proved. The

evidence as to this rests on the statement of the Harbour

Master himself, and his evidence is wholly unsatisfactory. He

states that the orders were verbal and that they were given to

Mr. Chan Tui Sam "about December, 1909", in the presence of Kr.

Messer, and subsequently to Mr. Fan Chung Hing, and as to the

latter interview the Harbour Master romarked as follows:- "When I do not remember for certain, I should say the same day in

the office". The Harbour Master also stated that after the

Shroff had absconded in 1910 the two clerks acknowledged to him, in the presence of Mr. Lonfestey, that they knew that the shroff did not obey his orders and that they knew of his orders.

The two clerks denied that any such orders

were received, as also that they ever made such an admission in the presence of Mr. Lenfestey, and Mr. Lenfestey, who was called at the suggestion of the Harbour Master, avered that

he had no recollection of such conversation.

Mr. Chan Pul Sam asked the Harbour Master in cross-examination whether he had not required him to alter his letter of 17th. November to the Colonial Secretary in answer to the charges, and alleged that he had been compelled

to
