To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He proceeds to state as follows : " A short time subsequent to this the accounts were submitted to the mess, the sums originally charged had been changed to suit the statements of the ward- room steward, with sundries inserted to balance the account. " I believe these references and extracts include a fair recapitu- lation of all the facts alleged by the several witnesses in regard to the mess accounts. It will be remembered, that in the joint letter of October 16th, 1846, I was charged with "d...ishonesty in the disposal of funds, " and " delay and evident reluctance in yielding up the mess accounts. " It is true it was alleged in the form of " sus- picion, " but as they have been assumed by the witnesses as equivalent to proof, it is scarcely worth while to note the dis- tinction. It is worthy of remark, however, that not only are such charges or " suspicions " not now sustained by proof, but as to the latter, expressly disproved by the very parties who made the alle- gation in 1846. They all concur in the statement that my ac- counts, loose sheets and all, were submitted to them and examined by 32 NAVAL COURT OF INQUIRY all, within, at the furthest, two or three days after dissatisfaction was exhibited !
