Charge 1

[C.] Charges 2

Proferred by Jeremy Bentham of Queens Square Place
(1) every Observation
Esquire, in his quality of Accountant, in respect of
1. Charge in respect of Article the 4th Account of
£2,000 impressed into his hands, by King's Warrant, dated
4th of June 1794, to the Commissioners for the Auditing the Public Accounts against
Richard Whitcomb Esquire,
one of the Chief Inspectors
acting under the authority
of the said
Commissioners,
for alleged misbehaviour
in the execution of
his Office, in relation
to the said Account

Preliminary Observation.

Whatsoever may be the forms of proceeding and rules of
evidence, in respect of which the provision practice of the Audit Board
differs from that of the Common Law Courts, it is
impossible for an Accountant to be appraized of them,
but by communication from the Board itself viz. either or the
from the Commissioners directly, or from some officers a by whom the of no question of
in this behalf the authority of the Court Board is exercised.

Saving therefore any special case in which if any the case of a suspicion of Fraud
such there be, in which and that moreover a case, if any such
there be, in which a communication of the practice of the
Court, in the belief in question, would be liable likely to afford asylum
to such fraud, it is the duty of every such officer
to explore every favourable occasion of in every instance where every need of such information
presents itself, to afford it , even though unsought;
much work if expressing might prayed for being particularly needed it be any where in express terms.

Qustn whether
to propose to
Charge - Information
withholden?

1
Preliminary Objection
Duty of the Board
by itself or Officers
to afford an Accountant
all necessary information
unasked -
much more if asked

This observation The abo above is an observation
which it seemed necessary to promise, as
necessary finding its application, in more or less form, throw short
the whole series of those charges. But necessary calling
for a more pointed application on the occasion of Charge
the 9th and last, it will there be repeated in a
more complete as well as printed form, ( such repetition
presenting itself as being on that occasion necessary) be
repeated.
