undertaken, during Dr Ayres' absence, the whole of the Colonial Surgeon's work in addition to his own Hospital work with the assistance of Dr Marques.

I regret also to have to remark that in a recent letter addressed by Dr Wharry to the Acting Colonial Surgeon (20th October last) he has made use of an offensive insinuation that the latter had deliberately forwarded a misstatement. I am satisfied that Dr Jordown has done nothing to deserve this unjustifiable imputation, and I hereby order Dr Wharry to withdraw it at once. I must remind Dr Wharry that this is not by any means the first time that his demeanour towards the head of his Department has not been marked by that courtesy which ought to characterize official relations between Government Servants.

He was warned in February 1881 by despatch No. 303 of the Secretary of State that it was expected that in future the relations between him and the head of his Department should be conducted with mutual courtesy and forbearance.

J. Frederick Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary.
