Jordan to be acting Colonial Surgeon during the absence on vacation leave, to be followed by one month's half pay leave, of Dr. D'Ayres, the Colonial Surgeon. I beg to refer Your Lordship to my despatch No. 195 of the 11th instant, in which I reported the arrangements that I had made with the approval of the Executive Council.

As stated in that despatch, Dr. D'Ayres had not had any leave for eleven years, and his health imperatively required that he should leave the Colony for a short period. Dr. D'Ayres informed me that he had no private means, and could not afford to go on leave unless I could approve the arrangement that he had made with Dr. Jordan. From what he then stated to me, I had every reason to believe that he did not intend to prolong the leave granted to him, and as the Colonial Regulation (No. 134) requires that the absenting officer should himself make such arrangements as may be necessary.
