pencil. On the following day he commenced from the counterfoil next to that bearing his initials, and made a similar check.

3.

The fraud was accomplished in the following

manner. On the 10th. June forty-four cargo boat licences were issued in various sums totalling $91. Mr. Jones had on the previous day initialled counterfoil No. 1080, being the last of the 9th. June, and in the ordinary course he would have begun his scrutiny on the 10th. from counterfoil No. 1081. But Lai Wing- -tak imitated Ir. Jones's initials on the back of counterfoil No. 1114, with the result that Mr. Jones began his scrutiny from count- -erfoil No. 1115, and Lai Wing-tak embezzled the fees, in the sum

-

-

of $776.50, appearing in counterfoils Nos. 1081-1114. On the earlier days Lai Wing-tak erased the forged initials after their

but purpose had been accomplished the erasures are apparent towards the end of the month he let the initials remain.

4.

These frauds went on daily from the 7th. June until nearly the end of the month, and on a very large scale. Lai Wing-tak took the whole of the cargo Boat Receipts for the 12th. and 13th. June, shown in Audit numbered counterfoils 1150

1233,

and on the 9th. June he took sixty-one fees out of a total of

sixty-nine.

5.

After Mr. Jones had completed his scrutiny the figures shown in the shroff's collection book were entered in

the cash book.

6.

It remains to consider how far the loss sustair

-ed by the Public Revenue is due to the neglect or wilful fault of

officers of the Harbour Department.

The Harbour Easter, as Collector, is required by General Order 315 to use caution in delegating his signature. It was not practicable for him to sign the Licences and lir. Lenfes tey was duly authorised to sign "pro" the Collector. The Harbour Master delegated to the Assistant Harbour Laster the duti- -es required by General Order 315 (4) and (6) in respect of the licences in question, and it would seem reasonable that he should be able to rely upon Mr. Jones in this matter. If however he had
