[No. 60

(c.) Any public moneys have been illegally expended; or that
(d.) There has been any deficiency or loss of public moneys
through the fraud, negligence, or mistake of any officer
of the Samoan Public Service,—
the Administrator shall surcharge with the amount of such public
moneys the person who appears to him to be in default or responsible,
notifying that person in writing of the surcharge and of the time
within which it must be satisfied, and shall also notify the Minister
of External Affairs thereof.

  1. The Administrator may at any time revoke any surcharge
    made by him in error.

  2. Any person so surcharged may, within two months after the
    receipt of the notice thereof, appeal to the Minister of External
    Affairs, who, after making or causing to be made such investigation
    as he thinks equitable, may determine the matter by an order either
    confirming the surcharge or directing the relief of the appellant there-
    from either wholly or in part. Such appeal shall be made by deliver-
    ing a written notice thereof to the Administrator.

  3. The amount of any such surcharge shall, after the expiry of
    the time for appeal therefrom, or in case of an appeal, then after the
    determination of that appeal, and to the extent to which the sur-
    charge is confirmed, constitute a debt due to the Crown by the person
    surcharged, and may be recovered by action accordingly, or deducted
    from the salary or other moneys payable to the person surcharged
    from the Samoan Treasury in such manner as the Administrator
    may direct.

  4. Nothing in the foregoing regulations as to surcharge shall
    preclude any other method of recovering from any person the amount
    of any loss which he may have caused to the Samoan Treasury by any
    fraud, negligence, mistake, or breach of official duty.

  5. All regulations in force under the Post and Telegraph Act,
    1908, or the Customs Act, 1913, or any other Act in force in Samoa
    shall, so far as such regulations relate to the collection, receipt,
    expenditure, control, or audit of public moneys, be read subject to
    the provisions of these regulations.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
