GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

I have the honour to inform you that on the
31st December, 1921, an Indian clerk in the Accounts Office
of the Police Department, Fatteh Mohamed, was arrested as a
result of the receipt in that office of a bill for ruge
stated to have been supplied for use in the Police
Ambulances. The nature of the articles supplied and their high cost excited suspicion and it was eventually discovered that the rugs had been supplied for his own personal use. Further enquiries were at once instituted and very considerable defalcations came to light with the result that Fatteh Mohamed was charged at the February Criminal Sessions on several counts and was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment while an accomplice outside Government service received twelve months' imprisonment on similar charges.
The total defalcations amount to £21,798.02
