Sir,—We request that you will inform Earl Bathurst that it has been reported to us by Captain Young, the Agent for Transports at Deptford, that Mr. Combley, the medical man embarked as a Settler for the Cape of Good Hope in the Sir George Osborne Transport, had declined proceeding thither, and that we have in consequence caused Mr. Thomas Foster, an Assistant Surgeon in the Eoyal Navy, to be embarked in the vessel to have the medical charge of the Settlers on board her during the passage to the Cape. "We have also to suggest whether, on account of the inconvenience which Mr. Combley has occasioned to the Service by refusing to proceed in the Sir George Oshorne, steps should not be taken to oblige him to pay for his victualling for the period he was on board the vessel We are &c.
