Of As to the irrelevance of the pap information thus called for
to the purpose of the Account, it is a subject point that
has been sufficiently spoken to in its place; had it the information
been relevant, neither the right nor the propriety of
calling for it, if would have found any thing said against
it by me: In The vexation and expense with which
the furnishing of it would have been accompanied. in I notice
two other points as not needing any further notice here.

The circumstance which on the present occasion calls
for action, is — the risk which in the instance in question
the Account found Accountant of finding himself, one of as if by a
judgment snapped upon him, divested a part of his property in the shape of a mass of
correspondence, the importance of which in a public view
might not easily admitt of an estimate, and this
by what in some instances might be a trick employed
to serve some private personal and secret purpose.

Knowing that
they could be thus
impounded, and
that they were irrelevant
as to the
account, and
having reason to
expect to receive
them, the Inspector
called for them.

In the present The papers were nothing to the purpose. This
did not hinder their being called for by Mr Chief Inspector The option it is
In calling for them, an option, it is true was given, viz.
whether to send in the originals or attested copies. The
originals, supposing them sent in would have been impounded:
to the proprietor, not accessible, if at all, but
under conditions and limitations, attended with force and
ceremony or to speak in plainer and more apposite terms with
vexation and expense. This Mr Chief Inspector knew,
and at the time of calling for them: for to him the practice
of the Board, being his own practice, was sufficiently known.
This the Accountant did b not know: on this point as well
as
as on all others
the practice of the Board
was unknown, he like
other Accountants have
no possible increase of
the knowing it.
