What is possible, indeed, is - that in saying by the words "the Receipt"
what Mr Chief Inspector meant was - not "the receipt" but "a fresh
"acknowledgment:" [+] But, it is only the in this supposition<add> in support of</add> the grossness of
[+] viz. the very document,
which, for the information
of the Accountant
it was as necessary
to distinguish, and which
by the Accountant had
in the past, been
accordingly been </del< to
carefully and pointedly distinguished
from it

the impropriety with which, on the other supposition, his
conduct would be marked, constitutes the only ground: a
gross and most unaccountable impropriety of expression is
the only supposition, by the help of which the imputation of a still more gross
impropriety of conduct can be escaped.| [+]2

As to the Accountant, in
In the perplexity into which by a requisition so
worded ,del> he was - the which his Accountant
what he did, was - to obtain and produce i.c. send in + - indeed
+ By Letter dated
24 May 1808

the supposedly gap/> of unproducible document which he had
thus been required to produce, but that which
it was in his favour to produce; viz. the document which
by his unnoticed statement subjoined to the item in question ,
he had eventually offered to produce already made an eventual offer of producing.

But having so done, done every thing in his power
and what in his own conception, <add> supposed on the supposition that the receipt issued
has been sufficient abut that which is in equal degree <lb?.sufficient for the discharge, his perplexity remains a
ground as before: nothing has no communication having in the intervening interval been made vouchsafe
for any such purpose in due of relieving him from it.

——

[+]2 though the word receipt had in the terms of the C
requisition been employed, yet if the preferred fresh acknowldegment
had been meant, the indefinite article a, if
employed instead of the definite article the, might effect
allowance made for impropriety and accepted
understood
as meant to designate the proposed "fresh acknowledgment" But
in in the present instance
the differnece in effect
between a and the
is so marked, and so
little is my critical
with the
rules of grammar
