I had no other clerical subordinates to whom I

could delegate this duty in my absence and that of the Assistant Harbour Master, under paragraph 2 of Treasury Circular of 18.12.09,

as the whole of my clerical staff were Chinese, with one exception,

From this I gather that, following upon my explanations, most of which he accepted, but one of the original charges remained. This was

Toat the shroff retained money which should have been

paid in to the bank.

Three new charges were, however, added:
