It is, moreover, on official record that Mr Price, the Surgeon General; Dr Ayres, the Colonial Surgeon; and Mr Deane, the Captain-Superintendent of Police, have suffered from severe sickness on occasions when they have made periodical inspections, similar to those which formed the daily routine of the duties of Mr. Neave.
