Mr. GOULBURN took occasion to ask whether her
Majesty's Ministers were aware that cholera had broken
out in the island of Jamaica, and whether any steps bad
been taken to furnish additional medical assistance to the
inhabitants of that island?
Sir G. GREY said that ho had been informed of the
fact that cholera had broken out in Jamaica. No repre-
sentations had been made to the Government with respect
to any deficiency in the medical staff in ;that island, but he
should observe that the governor had expressed his deep
regret that the assembly had refused to provide the funds
necessary to meet the present emergency.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said the right hon. the Secretary
