the report of the Committee in language which His Excellency, in confirming that report, considered ill became a subordinate Officer criticising the action of his superiors.

For July last, His Excellency issued instructions touching the management of the wards connected with the Civil Hospital, opened temporarily in the New Lock Hospital, upon which Dr. Harry forwarded to me his letter of 10th July last, containing enquiries so totally unnecessary that, 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 annoyance. I also felt constrained to direct His Excellency's attention to the unsatisfactory relations between Dr. Harry and myself, in the various points detected in that letter which I will outline, and to the harm his conduct was doing in his department.

On the 17th July, I was informed that His Excellency thought that Dr. Harry had made out a case for the increased staff he asked for, and that as to the rather vague charges of insubordination brought by me against Dr. Wharry, His Excellency thought they ought to be dropped.
That my charges were not baseless, I most respectfully submit. It is clear that one of the most material points of complaint, viz.: that of calling in medical men other than myself without any concurrence or, worse, my knowledge, the Consulting Surgeon of the Institution, was a slight towards myself as well as a grave offence against Hospital discipline and etiquette in every way.

His Excellency's views naturally caused me both surprise and regret, and being convinced that matters could not, with due regard to the public interest, 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. Wharry's conduct towards myself.
1. Upon the daily morning visit of the Colonial Surgeon to the Hospital, the Superintendent, unless unavoidably prevented, shall make it his duty to meet the Colonial Surgeon at the latter's office.
2. The Superintendent shall report the number and nature of the cases admitted during the previous twenty-four hours and with reference to...
