CO129-510-14 Report of committee of enquiry into discrepancies and losses in government departments in Hong Kong... 21-4-1928 - 24-10-1928 — Page 125

Enclosure No.3.

125

Hon.C.S.

With reference to the forged cheques an the

Treasury, I should be glad to know if action is being

taken to get the Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking

Corporation to reinstate the amount which they have

debited the Government, on account of the three cheques

in question. If action is to be taken it should be

done without further delay and the Crown Solicitor

should receive instructions accordingly.

I am satisfied that the signatures purporting

to be mine are forgeries, and I also consider that the

evidence of such is, apart from my word, conclusive.

(sa) C. McI. Messer.

Treasurer.
