I have the honour to ack the receipt of

and Substantiated

Mr May's conf desps of the 6th and

10th of July with regard to the cases of

Inspectors Brett and Reidie of the

Sanitary Department.

of both these officers shew that they

suggests that I should recommend the

Crown to dispense with their services,

to frame definite charges for the

officers from the public service.

I have &c.
