counting system kept in regard to passports. The books were at that time kept by Mr Tsui and having re- gard to the simplicity for audit num- bered forms I recognised that a very light increase in Mr Tsul's account- Ing could cover the issuing of per- mits under the new scheme. It has been very much simpler although the accounts were larger.

So that you postponed the settle- ment of an accountng system until you

had completed what you called more urgent work?-1 thought that a simple development of Mr Tsui's work was all that was required on the cash book side. He was practi- cally acting as accountant for the Passport Office at that time.

Mir Tsui was shroff as well as ac- countant. He was actually himself receiving sums of cash as were other shroffs? In the Passport Omer he was the only shroff.

person who handled monies at all? In the Passport Office I believe so.

It was your belief at that time when the Immigration Office was opened he would be also the only person who would be handling money?-I cannot say I expected an increase but what increase I could not know.

as shroffs and cashiers and Was It then your idea that they should in turn cach ac- count to Mr Tsul each day?—No, it was my wish that each shroff should keep cash book as Mr Tsui had previously kept in the Passport Office. Was a cash book instituted for each? I cannot say,

You did not institute any general cash books-No.

Who was generally responsible for the cash? Did the responsibility of cach of the shroffs continue until he had accounted for the amount to the Treasury?—Yes.

There was never any general cash book or

or any general system of recon- ciliation? No,

When you got Mr Taylor's minute In October and the draft forma at- tached thereto, did you not have the forms prepared? recognised that these

books would not be printed in time, and I had a clerk, Mr Leung, loaned to me from the C.S.O. set him to work to make

copies of it which were supplied

to Mr who ofter week's experience morted to me that the forms were unworkable because permits wero not and could not be issued in numerial order. Applications were received and if they were granted In due course a permit was prepared, tulsing in order from the book to tho audit number blanks, It did not fol- low that the applicant came in tha same order to pay.

The position was that until Mr Taylor came in on February 1, to your knowledge there was no general cash books?—Yes, I wish to equalify hat with further reference to Mr Toul. am not quite sure if that cash
