Duties entail a prolonged attendance on much medico-legal work beyond the performance of an occasional post-mortem examination, we do not think Dr Wharry physically fit to do this, and properly carry on his important duties as Superintendent of the Gov't Civil Hospital.

We have to refer to S. Fisher, Esq., M.D., P. 1. Rutherford, S. 9, 981.0 Thing Patrick Manson, M.D.

Dr. J. Wharry has been in the service since December 1877, and before his appointment in 1873, he was suffering from organic disease of the heart, and of late years he has been suffering from fever and dysentery contracted in this climate. He has been thoroughly competent in the performance of his duties, but of late years he has given much trouble in his Department from his irritable temper which I have had to put up with as far as possible, attributing it to the state of his health which is not likely to improve in this climate. For the past two years, he has suffered during summer from fever and dysentery and had to be invalided for over 4 months in 1885. He has twice acted as Colonial Surgeon.
