Attend to the general dispensing work of the Hospital, and, in the absence of the Apothecary, will have sole control of the dispensary.

The Emoluments will be about $81460 to $4960 per annum at the present rates of exchange, rising by annual increments of $130 to $7130.

A free passage to the Colony will be granted and will be for a term of 3 years with return passage, but this period may be extended.
