Charge 2
2. Article 3 Ques 4

2
In the above statement so made as above by the Accountant
the two documents were carefully distinguished: the document
which was "not forthcoming: and the succedaneous document
of which it was supposed that it might be forthcoming:
for designating the document "not forthcoming" the appellation employed was the
"receipt" was employed: for designating the document expected
to be forthcoming, and in that expectation the appellation
employed was "a fresh acknowledgment."

2
Duty of the Chief
Inspector there upon
If in the judgment of the Chief Inspector the "fresh
"acknowledgment" was with propriety admissible, it was
his duty to have signified as much, and, in
penning a correspondent requisition, to have designated
this supposed obtainable document, either by the terms employed
by the Accountant, or by some other means, by which it
might, with equal or at least sufficient clearness, have
been distinguished from that which had been declared to
be unobtainable.

If in his judgment but the document so tendered
was inadmissible, he ought to have declared as much. was
stating on what ground he regarded it in that light as inadmissible: to
the end that the Accountant might have classed his conduct
accordingly in the manner stated under the preceding article
of charge: in a word he ought it was his duty not to have left the Accountant
in the dark, but, seeing as he could not but see
of what nature the evidence was that which the Accountant had
not to produce, and of what nature that which he had to
produce, he ought to have afforded him such lights as (it could
not but be seen) were necessary to his guidance . ][ [+]
[+] By Mr Chief
Inspector neither of
these courses was
pursued. Instead of
saying so the one
case for example
The Accountant is
required to produce such
fresh acknowledgment:
or in the other case,
No such fresh acknowledgment
can be admitted:
in which latter
case it would have been further necessary to give either to that the article would be disallowed or that evidence of such a link or description would be received as
of the receipt. he says, writing in the most ambiguous terms that could possibly hath divined - the Accountant is required to produce the receipt for this payment," ][
