One of Enclosure + order than to the previous 5th triennial report, for on 9th November, 1883, the Coroner again complained that Dr. Wharry disregarded his directions to perform medico-legal work in special cases, and deputed Dr. Marques to perform that duty. After calling upon him for explanations Sir G. Bowen directed that the orders of 19th Nov. 1883 conveyed to Dr. Wharry should be repeated and that he should be informed that he was expected to obey them. It will thus be seen that Dr. Wharry's refusal to obey orders with regard to the performance of medico-legal work dates back to 1883.

12. I wish also to call attention to the fact that although the number of dead bodies to be examined is large, the number of cases in which autopsy has to be performed is relatively very small, there having been, according to a return made out, only 16 autopsies.
