om Medical Officer in good health, having been communicated to Dr Wherry under the Governor's instructions & Wherry in reply forwarded to me a communication reiterating 22nd April 1860 his grievance as to overwork, and criticizing 25th April 1860 the report of the Committee in language, which His Excellency in confirming that report considered ill became a subordinate.

Is Jerly bas! His Excellency issued instructions touching the management of the wards connected with the Civil Hospital temporarily opened in the new Lock Hospital over which Dr Wherry forwarded to me a letter 10th July last containing enquiries. In forwarding it to the Colonial Secretary I felt it my duty to point out that it could only have been written for the sake of arrogance. I also felt constrained to direct His Excellency's attention to the unsatisfactory relations between Dr Wherry and myself.

On the 17th July I was informed that His Excellency thought that Dr Wherry had made out a case for the increased staff he asked for, and that as to the latter vague charges of insubordination brought by me against Dr Wherry His Excellency thought they ought to be dropped.

I most respectfully submit. It is clear that one of the most material of them viz: that of calling in Medical Officers other than myself without the concurrence of my superiors - the Consulting Surgeons of the Establishment - was a pointed slight towards myself as well as a grave offence against Hospital discipline and etiquette in any way.
His Excellency's view naturally caused me some surprise and regret and being convinced that matters could not rest while a difference of opinion existed with regard to the public interest to be allowed to remain on their existing basis, I forwarded for His Excellency's consideration and approval the following proposed rules for the guidance of Dr Wherry's conduct towards myself.
1. Upon the daily morning visit of the Colonial Surgeon to the Hospital the Superintendent and when unavoidably prevented shall make it his duty to acquaint the Colonial Surgeon at the latter's office.
2. The Superintendent shall report to the Colonial Surgeon the number and nature of the cases admitted during the previous twenty-four hours and with reference to cases of special interest shall bring the particulars of such cases to the knowledge of the Colonial Surgeon and so afford him the opportunity of inspecting the same.
