Superintendent's Office, Nelson,
11th February, 1867.
HIS Honor the Acting-Superintendent directs the publication of the following Report for general information.
ALFRED GREENFIELD,
Provincial Secretary.
Provincial Audit Office,
Nelson, January 21, 1867.
To the Honorable the Speaker of the Provincial Council, Nelson.
SIR,—I have the honor to forward herewith, in compliance with the requirements of the Provincial Audit Act of the General Assembly, 1861, the Quarterly Statements of the Provincial Treasurer to the period ending December 31, 1866.
Also copy of letter addressed to His Honor the Superintendent, respecting the irregularity of the Receipts by the Provincial Treasurer, of the Customs Duties due from the Port of Greymouth.
Also Statement of Unauthorised Expenditure to the present dato, with the special orders under which unauthorised expenditure has been paid since the present Audit Act came into operation. The whole of this expenditure has been included in the Act for Further Appropriating the Revenue, about to be forwarded to the Council.
With respect to the Customs Duties from the Grey, I may state that the Hon. the Colonial Secretary was communicated with on the subject, and the respective amounts are now included in the December Quarterly Statement.
The Council will be aware that the Audit Act of 1861, under which I have hitherto had the honor of performing my duties, ceased to be operative on the 31st December last, and that the new Act, of 1866, came into operation on the 1st instant. By this Act the Provincial Auditors and the Deputy Auditors, now acting, are deemed to hold their respective appointments from the hands of His Excellency the Governor. Other alterations have also been made, making the Act of a much more restrictive character than the previous one, and inflicting much heavier fines and penalties for any infringement of its clauses.
