Arrived from Southampton on the 2nd December, after a passage of ninety five days. Twelve deaths and two births were the casualties at sea. In consequence of several complaints having been made against the surgeon-superintendent, the Immigration Board sent to enquire into the circumstance. After investigating the complaints, the Board were of opinion that the surgeon-superintendent had greatly neglected his duty in not attending to the cleanliness of the ship, and mustering of the people according to his printed regulations-that, consequently filth and vermin prevailed among the people. The Board recommended that the gratuity of the surgeon should be reduced from 10s. to 7s 6d. on each immigrant landed alive ; and further, the Board, considering the surgeon quite incompetent, recommended that he should not again be entrusted with the charge of an emigrant ship. His Excellency the Officer Administrating the Government was pleased to ratify and confirm the recommendation of the Board ; and further to direct that a copy of the report should be forwarded to the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners. In this ship there were five deaths from malignant cholera ; but, as in the case of the James Fernie, the disease ceased as soon as the ship had left the latitudes where cholera was epidemic.
