An inquest concerning the death of William Hemy Shilito was held this after noon, when a verdict was returned of accidental death, due to fracture of the skull, caused by a fall from a< tramcar. Deceased fell when leaving a moving car on Thursday evening. Speaking at the annual meeting of Sharland and Company, Ltd., this afternoon, the chairman of directors (Mr. W. Watson) referred to the recent defalcations at Auckland. He said the loss consisted of a series of embezzlements by the late assistant accountant in Auckland, who, when found out, gave himself up to the police, and was committed for sentence. The man had been in the company's employment for ten years, and being to all outward appearance respectable was trusted to an unwarrantable extent by his superior officers, or it might more explicitly be said that the manager trusted to the accountant, and the accountant trusted the delinquent. Efforts were being made to traco where the moneys went —with a view of recovering some of them if possible. Tho man's confession, added the chairman, was that they went mostly to bookmakers. - Messrs. .A. L.
