Cary-Elwes of Coleshill recognises the magnitude of the evil, and the necessity of adopting its suppression; but all expressed their opinion that the difficulty of dealing effectually with the question is extreme.

The Draft Ordinance which has been drawn and considered by the Council, and twice circulated among Members, I transmit herewith, together with the written opinions of the individual members.

No 2 @ 6.

I also forward a letter from the then Colonial Surgeon of some date, showing the extent of the Disease, and making reference to the preventive measures adopted at Gibraltar.

On a perusal of all these documents it will be seen that the question turns mainly on the particular mode of Legislation, and on this point I shall anxiously await the decision of Her Majesty's Government. In the Despatches to which I have above referred, as well as in the Enclosures to this, so much evidence has been adduced to show the urgency of interference, that I feel it unnecessary for me to do more on this occasion than to request the earliest consideration of the subject.
