& S
forward for Your Lordship's information copy of a letter which I Enclosure.
- have only just received from Dr Jordan, the Acting Colonial Surgeon, who emphatically denies Dr Wharry's assertion that he has to instruct and advise him in the duties he is undertaking. I beg attention also to paragraph 4 of this letter. I quite agree with Dr Jordan that the interests of the public service would have suffered from any combination between Dr Wharry and Marques.
The object this Government had in view in making arrangements for carrying out the instructions conveyed by Lord Derby's despatch of 25th January, 1883, was to prevent quarrels, otherwise inevitable, by making the duties of these two Officers independent of each other?
1st July, 1886.
