I have the honour to request authority under
Colonial Regulation No.293 to write off the sum of $50.00 which
was stolen from a safe in the Imports and Exports Department
during the Chinese New Year holidays, between the 30th January
and 1st February, 1930.
The Police report goes to show that the theft
was in all probability committed by an office coolie who picked
the lock of the safe. There is suspicion, but no evidence
which would render a conviction possible, and I have therefore
taken no steps beyond ordering that the services of the suspect
shall be dispensed with after due notice. I am satisfied that
the loss cannot be attributed to carelessness on the part of
the Departmental Officers concerned.
2.
In this connection I have to state that no
general authority in matters of this nature, such as is
contemplated by Colonial Regulation No.293, appears to have
been granted to the Governor of this Colony and to suggest, with
the concurrence of the Acting Colonial Auditor, that such
general authority up to a limit of $500 might now be given.
I have the honour to be,

LORD PASSFIELD,
