(This is also stated in paragraph 4 of the

Assistent Local Auditor's letter, and in para-

-graph 3 of the Local Auditor's letter.)

This I also deny. The vast majority of tue

fees payable were then, as now, paid in to this office by cheque or Compradore order. It appears that, in isolated instances, the shroff did collect small suns when distributing bills, in defiance of my orders. On the date in question he collected large sums, after this office was closed, and decamped with them before it re- -opened. I am unable to discover any grounds for the statement that money collected was not paid in to the Bank until some time after its collection. There appears to be a good deal of confu- -sion of ideas in these several reports, and I can only suppose that this mistake arose from the interval which sometimes elapsed between the delivery of the bills and their settlement. At the present moment there are some bills outstanding which should have been paid 12 days ago, yet there is no question of the retention of money by anyone in tuis Department. The same thing occurred then even more frequently.

(iv).

That the shroff was in the habit of lending

Coverament money to Harbour Department clerks, and hence that I was guilty of a breach of 0.8.0. Circular No. 37 of 14.12.09.

Here, apain, is displayed a confusion of ideas. Everytbing goes to snow that the money advanced by the shroff, if it was not his own money, was that belonging to the Sailors Home, which has nothing to do with the Covernment.

(v).

That I allowed Chinese clerks to sign receipts

for me.
