21 July 1808 + Omitt in Reasons? 10
Reasons
10 Vouchers not the best
evidence
If there be any one mode line of conduct [more than better calculated
another capable of shutting] than another to shut the door against every suspicion
of fraud, it is should naturally be the readiness of the party in question
to undergo an examination upon oath: by the their
Accountant that readiness was declared had been notified, spontaneously testified at the very
outset of the business.
Had the ulterior and better evidence so tendered tender so made
of the ulterior and better evidence been accepted or noticed,
though "by his present observation at the foot of Messrs
"Booth and Cos certified Account" it was already "stated"
it seems, by the Accountant as per Mr Chief Inspectors Query No 5, that,
of the original Monies, such as were not sent in
"never came into his" (the Accountants) "hands — though
from my answer to the query "for the reason they
"were not received as well as the other original Invoices"
no great very material light seemed likely to be thrown
upon the business, either on the supposition of fraud
or on the supposition of no fraud, yet, forasmuch
as, upon the supposition of no fraud, the Accountant
could not naturally have any considerable objection
to the giving the true answer, whatever it was — to
this requisition considered in itself he does not
object as vexatious. The vexation complained of
on this score consists not simply in the putting of this question — but
the putting it in the same instrument a shade of
darkness and obscurity was thrown over the whole of the
information which the Accountant had prayed for, and
which was so necessary as well for his satisfaction, as for his guidance.
