Fray, Dec. 6. |

EVENING SESSION. Enguiry resumed at seven.

Frank M. Loneworra’s examination | continued : After the discovery of the ir- | regularities, Mr. Ferguson told me to look | through the books, and in doing so I came upon the McCloskey matter. This was discovered last summer, and was about the last we found. The entry on the counter- | foil of the receipt book was first, ‘‘searc’ l16c.,” but it wasafterwards changed to $46. 1 reported the matter to Mr. Ferguson and | Mr. McKinlay, and Mr. DeBlois, the auditor, was sent for. My hours of work | were from 10 to4, with an hour for din- ner. Sometimes we would have to keep open until after tive when there were many farmers coming in, and in the months of November and December we would very often have to work after tea in order to, keep up with the work. I had no reason to suspect that moneys were received into the oflice that were not properly credited in the cash book until the defalcations were | discovered. Mr. McDonald and I would | sometimes look over the ledgers. I never } suggested that it would be better to have | an audit of the township ledgers, as it was not my place to do so. In Mr, McKinlay’s absence, since Mr. Strong’s death, 1 would have charge of the cash. IL have given

sureties for two thousand dollars in private bondsmen. 1 made deposits at the bank when I had av = amount

worth while. I would consider about $400 or $500 worth while, but not $100. 1 only had charge of the cash while Mr. McKinlay was up west after Mr. Strong’s death. A balance was struck in theccash, and receipts were given when the cash passed between Mr. McKinlay and 1. (Receipt book con-

Strong shown.) I remember the time these amounts were paid. It was on the 3ist December, 1888. ‘That is the date of the receipts. They were the first amounts paid in by George R. Strong. These pay- ments covered all the defalcations known up te that date. accounts settled with the money paid in by George R. Strong, showing payments up to the 3lst December, 1888.) Every dollar known to be wrong up to that date was paid on that day before the accounts of the oflice were closed. (Cash book, 1882, shown.) When items are posted here a black check

column where the amounts are entered. (identifies mark.) Mr, Strong, Mr, Mc- Kinlay and Mr. Newbery also made check marks here. (Marks identified.) The other marks there are the ,auditor’s. They are made with a red or blue pencil. They indicate that the amounts marked were checked with the counterfoils of the receipt buoks. (Ledger for Lot 22 shown.) The straight mark I find on this ledger must have been made by Mr. Hyndman. (Cwsh book, page 106, December, 1878, shown.) There are only three of the items on this pagechecked. There are about thirty-eight items on the page. (Ledger containing entries of corresponding items shown.) Three of the items here are checked. (Page 105 of the cash book, 1878, examined.) Ouly three of the entries here are checked. (Loan Act Ledger for the same time shown. ) Only two of these three items are checked ; one is not.

F. S. Moore, teller Merchants Bank of Prince Edward Island, (sworn)— Duplicate deposit ticket shown). This is a duplicate bank deposit tickét bearing date Oct. 27, 1884. The item, $103.03 thereon was a check on one of the other banks, | have no means of telling which, or it might have been a deposit receipt with accrued interest marked on it. In nearly every in- stance where the deposit slip was filled up by Mr. Strong, he made thej deposit in person; but I have known deposits to have been made by Mr. McKinlay and Mr. Macdonald (Duplicate deposit slip dated Dec. 15, 1888, shown). This is m Mr. Strong’s writing. The two items of $117.96 and $116.98 thereon were checks on the Merchants Bank of Halifax. I do not know to whom they were payable, as we keep no record except of amounts. (Da- plicate deposit ticket dated 21st Dec., 1888 shown). This is not in Mr. Strong s writ- ing; but it looks like Mr. Macdonald’s. The item $225 was a check drawn by J. G. Sterns on the Merchants Bank of P. E.L., Souris. Mr. Sterns would have this check as we give up our checks half-yearly. (Duplicate deposit ticket, June 30, 1888, shown). This is in Mr. Strong’s hand- writing. The item $133.40 is a check of Sullivan & McNeill on the Merchants Bank

only possible way of finding out if there were amounts entered therein that had not been credited to the Government. I have been in the Merchants Bank about twenty- five, years and have had a good deal of ex- perieace in checking, and know the im-

| portance of accuracy in these matters.

¥. M. Lonewortu's examination resum- ed :—(Cash book opened at page 94, Nov. 1878.) There are no check marks here. (Ledger opened at dates and places cborres- ponding with page 94 of the cash book.) There are no check marks here. (Cash book, page 91, Noy. 1878. There are six check marks here. (Ledger containing ac- counts corresponding with those checked in the cash book shown.) There are six check marks here. (Cash book opened at page 57, Dec. 1877-8.) There are seven check marks here. (Ledgers with corresponding entries shown.) There are seven check marks here. A page of the cash book contains about 38 eatries. The pages I have examined are taken fairly from the cash book for 1877 and 1878. Mr. Hynd- man was Provincial Auditor in these years. Witness next proceeded to examine ledgers

‘for Lots 23, 30 and 61 for the years 1877 land 1878,

and testified that he found no check marksin them. He continued : if there had been an audit from the cash book to the ledgers in these years, there would have been check marks through all of the ledgers. (Ledger for Lot 10, 1877-78 shown). Some of the items here are checked, others are not. Judging by the examination I have made of the books, and from the absence of check marks, I would conclude that no thorough audit was made from the cash book to the ledgers. The drawer of Mr. Strong’s desk in the of- fice in Ch’town was opened after his death, and in looking through it, I found a large envelope containing a number of blank re- ceipts. I reported the findiag of this en- velope and its contents to Mr, Ferguson, and gave him what I had found. [ had never before seen blank receipta separated from the cotnterfoils. After a search was made, it was entered in the cousterfoil of the receipt book, and Mr. Strong teld me to either cross over or tear out this receipt. | have often torn out and destroyed these receipts. When adeed was issued it was customary to give a regular receipt in ad- dition to the receipt on the back of the deed. Until after Mr. Strong’s death, I never knew of ani “the only

For more than a generation, Ayer’s Sarsa- parilla has been before the public, and its popularity was never greater than at present. As a remedy for the various disorders caused by constitutional! taint, this medicine has no equal, The demand for it is prodigious.
