5. To Major General Barker
the first thanks
7 to Community who Consider it to be due, for when the call for Volunteers was
Originally made, the disease, which had broken out and was fast spreading, was
to all appearances very fatal and contagious. Major General Barker seeing the state
of the Colony and the danger which threatened assumed the responsibility of it, at once
permitting the Military to volunteer for house to house visitation and other Offices and
for the removal of the sick and dead with all the attendant dangers. Further and more
urgent call was made later on
and this was also sanctioned by Major-General Barker until about four hundred men
of all ranks were employed. There is no doubt that the Military Forces rendered
they great service to the Colony and that it was largely due to their untiring Efforts
and to the good work performed by them that the plague was Checked and Eventually
stamped out. The Journal assisted the Colony in other ways and the Committee fully
acknowledging the debt of his and decided that the thanks of the Community Should be
tendered to him and that your Excellency should be approached to have
the services rendered by him in Connection with the plague being brought to the
special notice of Her Majesty's Government for further Recognition.
6. The Committee are of opinion that the exertions of Captain Superintendent of Police
were worthy of
some Special recognition because in his double Capacity of Captain Superintendent
of Police and Member of the Executive Committee his labours were not only
arduous but also Meritorious:
the greater part of the house to house visitation and searching for the sick and dead
fell upon him but also the superintendence and direction of all the visitations. He never
abated his personal Efforts for a moment; his constant presence to Examine and
search for infected houses and to direct the removal of the sick or dead, greatly
encouraged and stimulated all the other workers. The work attendant on the removal
of the inhabitants of Plague Stricken district to healthier parts fell largely on him and
was they Successfully carried out.
The Committee decided that a
piece of
a Gold medal should be
offered
