Concluding observations )
to other Accountants)

1.
Service that may
be rendered to the
public by this charge

2.
No personal enmity
is here suspected.

3.
Hence the source
of the misconduct
may be supposed to be
in some cause of
misbehaviour b the
effects of which Accountants
in general
stand exposed. p.1

4
Chief vices which
Accountants are liable
to have to contend with
in the bosom of a
Ch. Inspector -
1. Indolence
2. Tyranny.
p.1.

5.
1. Indolence its effects -
Producing questions
upon questions without
regard to relevance
or necessity
p.2

6.
Mere absence of due
sympathy would be
sufficient to expose
Accountants to great
oppression from indolence -
this manifesting itself.
p.3

7.
But in a situation
armed with power a
tyrannical disposition
finds a position pleasure -
a gratification
to pride and love of
power - in the idea
of the suffering thus
produced. p. 3

8
Marks of a disposition
in which both
then vices are combined -
and from which
unless corrected, future
Accountants stand exposed
to infinite
vexation. In the hope
of preventing that evil,
the Accountant found
over and above self-
preservation, an additional
incentive to
this complaint.
p.4.

9
In his own instance,
the vexation by ill-bestowed
labour &
loss of time is unaggravated
by apprehension.
But in Accountants
in general this will
not have place. p.4.

10
Zeal for the public
service, an ordinary
plea in the mouth
of tyranny.

11
In applicability of
that plea in the
present instance -
No benefit to the service
but -
1. Careless neglect to
give necessary information
when
unasked
2. Wilful withholding
of do when asked.
3. Plying an Accountt
with questions already
answered.
4. Plying him with
irrelevant queries
& other requisitions
5. Unexceptionable evidence
indirectly but virtually
rejected.
6. Alarming obscurity
& perplexing ambiguity
of language.
p.5.

12
Such tyranny affords
no presumption of
probity but rather
of improbity. A
man disposed to shew
undue favour to
some would behold
for his improbity a
convenient
in the reputation of
severity acquired at
the expence of others,
In reflection a general
one - no special grounds
for applying it here.
p.6
