: argument for obtaining such increase have been considerably lightened by orders; Six G. Women and in fact one now almost entirely performed by Walterque

although he was warned that there was a body lying in the Public Mortuary he is charged with neglect of duty

On 5th instant Dr Ellarques fell sick and at the suggestion of the Colonial Surgeon endeavoured to obtain the services of a Military Surgeon for a few days to undertake such medico-legal work as might devolve on him. There being no Military Surgeon available and I then (on 6th instant) directed that Dr Wharry should be required to perform these duties during the temporary illness of his brother officer, Dr Ellarques. Dr Ellarques, it may be remarked, had undertaken night duties at the Civil Hospital for Dr Wharry, although it formed no part of his duties, during six weeks, the latter being able to pass his night at the Barracks instead of at his quarters at the Hospital.

Dr Wharry on 7th instant in reply refused to undertake those duties stating that he should have been given eight days' notice while awaiting examination.

Dr Wharry is now informed that he is charged with insubordination and disobedience of order without reason or excuse and is hereby required to send in due answer to this charge in writing by next Friday the 12th instant, which answer will be considered by the Governor in Executive Council.

87 Frederick Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary.
