Colonial Audit ORICP. May. 13.1843.
My Lortia,—We hove the honour to submit our report,
2;deo lot•ot of Mr. Theodore Hook, to your Lord-
.V so ,tea Mr.

sell

ealv
us the Ittilersigraph of ear report of the 3d of Jaly,
1819.

Mr. Hook has alleged, as a part of oar want of can-
dour, that when Me. Allan, by his suicide, gave,
tio most remarkable practical evidence in bis fa-
vour, we " in that particular," discover that he was in-
sane.
Your Lordships would be led to infer, from this ex-
pression, that our conviction of bis insanity was derived
from the act of suicide alone, that we bad no other
proof, and that Mr. Honk was not aware of any other
proof to establish it. Yet that decisive letter of M.
AHan to linters, (fall to which we have referred, comes
from Me. Hook himself, and is among the documents
which he traasinitted to Earl Ilathurst.

Mr. Hook further observes, that Mr. Allen is repro-
tented by this Board, as • gentlemen entitled to the
credit of being a most correct, diligent, and taithfal
public servant, 'holies detected some great delinquency
of his. To this assertion, we have only to refer to our
report,. as • positive contradiction.
Mr. Hook proceeds to ob that the next charge
against him arises out of a supposed differesee in value
between specie and paper; and that this Board has al-
leged that Jpeertaio "exchanges made by Meander the
order of Government, he must have pat inhibit' pocket a
difference of eight per cent."
We havoalleged, and proved, that the difference was!,
not supposed, but real, and Mr. Hook admitted it. We
have not alleged, that in certain exchanges made by
him under the order of Government, he put into his,
pocket the difference of eight per cent. ;" lost we have
alleged , that after giving him credit for all payments
and excitants made by order of Government, a great
quantity of specie had disappeared. and paper bail been
sebstituted in its place Neither have we alleged that
"be has rocketed the difference." how it appeared we
have no direst proof. His evasive answers, and fictitious
returns, have thrown a cloud and mystery over the trans-
actions. :We have, however, stated that for the loss to
Goverment, arising from fraud ur negligence, he is re-
sponsible.
Mr. Hoot it accuses this Board of a suppression of
the tenth on this point. because it did not specifically re-
fer to that part of the letter of Governor Farquhar re-
specting the exchange of paper fur specie, which stated
that there was " no tiiffTrence between the value of spe-
cie and colonial paper." He then proceeds to observe,
that the letter might have been founded in fact, or lug-
(Plied by financial expediency; and further, that it
is a flagrant suppression of truth on the part of the
Audit Hoard, not to have stated that the very order eon-
tain,l ifs itself an official and authentic contradiction of
the c;iarge.4 Of what charge, my Lords, does it con-
tain a contradiction? Of the charge that the specie was
abstracted (for that was the charge)? No, to Lords,
to this it does nut not advert: but it contains that,
%latch Mr. Hook himself says may "have been founded
in fact, or suggested by political expediency."
But, says Fr. Hook, in his letter of the lath of March.
" during that period it was the uhject of the Colonial
Goverment (whose policy I am not authorised to re-
mark upon) to maintain the.paper currency at its nomi-
nal value; and though in the purchase of hills, Sic.
there slid in point of fact exist a difference of $ per
cent. (or thereabout.) between the value of specie and
paper, &c."
Here there is the admission of Mr. Honk himself to
that, which, indeed, without his admission, the records
of est, the tenders end the contracts for bills,
distioctly prove. It mild not, therefore, he necessary
advert to a letter framed on an unrolled...ft supposition
as to this point. The het of the difference vales
stands :undoubted, mad Is admitted by Mr. Hook bita.
