With reference to Sir William Robinson's des...
patch No.149 of the 30th. June, 1896, and to your reply there to
No.166 of the 7th. August following, I regret to have to report
that Mr.W. E. Crow, Government Analyst, was brought before the
Executive Council on the 14th.instant to defend himself orally
against the charges of (1) being absent from duty on the 2nd.
December last without leave, and (2) being incapicitated by rea-
son of alcoholism from performing his duty on that date.
In view of Mr. Crow's previous history, I caused
the usual steps to be taken with a view to his suspension in
accordance with the Colonial Office Regulations, and I further
interdicted him under Regulation No.88 from the exercise of
the powers and functions of his office pending the considera-
tion of his case in Executive Council,
el: 1 to 10. The 14th Dec 1898. Lol: 11.
indea 1898.
I enclose for your information copies of all
the material documents relating to Mr. Crow's case, and a copy
of the Minutes of Council, from which you will observe that the
Members unanimously advised that Mr. Crow he formally suspended
from office and recommended to you for dismissal from the Pub-
lic Service of this Colony, and that pending the receipt of
The Right Honourable
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.P.
