Enclosure C by

It will, I am confident, be obvious to His Excellency the Acting Governor that the charge of falsifying the Wardmasters' statement, brought against me by Dr Wharry in an official form and recorded by him in the official archives of the Hospital, is absolutely unmerited. As my personal honour is so seriously impugned and Government has so far in this matter only my word against that of Dr Wharry, I feel that it is only just to myself to beg that His Excellency will cause this matter to be investigated, independently, and if it is found, as it assuredly will be, that I am not guilty of the charge, that Dr Wharry be called upon to withdraw the same, and that his letter be expunged from the official records of the Hospital.

Government Order

2202565

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Hongkong,

6th November, 1886.

Considering the number of times this year that Dr Marques has undertaken Dr Wharry's night duties during the time that the latter has been staying at the Peak, I regret to have to remark that on the present occasion of Dr Marques falling sick, Dr Wharry has refused to undertake for a few days the occasional medico-legal duties which he had himself to perform until he was formally relieved by Dr Marques.

Dr Wharry's plea that he cannot undertake these duties during a few days because he has already more work in the Hospital than one man can perform is inconsistent with the statement in his recent memorial to the Secretary of State that he could have undertaken additional duties.
