by the Secretary of State

Wharry's salary being based on his representation that he was called upon to perform duties such as taking charge of the Government Civil Hospital and medico-legal post-mortem examinations, it is to be clearly understood that he is responsible for these duties and is not to delegate them to the Assistant unless in very exceptional circumstances.

That Dr. Warry did not comply with the directions issued. The orders given on 6th June, 1883, regarding "the medical officer in charge of the Government Civil Hospital" state that "the medical officer is duly responsible for this duty."

In November 1883, the Coroner reported that Dr. Wharry disregarded his instructions and failed to make post-mortem examinations when called upon specially. Thereupon, Sir George Bowen directed that the orders of 6th June be repeated and that Dr. Warry should be informed that he was expected to obey them.

In Dr. Warry's Memorial, the Secretary of State notes that up to June last, he speaks of Dr. Marques being in charge of the Female Ward of the Government Civil Hospital and performing medico-legal duties, thereby leaving it to be inferred that Dr. Wharry performed some of these duties.

On 5th November 1886, it was decided that post-mortem examinations would be performed in future by Dr. Marques, except in special cases when the Coroner might designate Dr. Warry to do so.
