reud the LIST INTERPOLATION and SAID that it
did not mean any complaint 81 and censure
on he conduct Of the Doctor, but only meant
to draw the Governments attention to the
inconvenience which the Public suffered.
1t happened some time ago, that the
Speaker was going on board one of the
steamers coming from the other Islands The
doctor had gone on board and the steamer
was surrounded with boats filled with peo-
pie wishing to 50 on board. After some time
it was called out that the agent Of The steam
er could come ON board. No one thought
Al-4 49, .l.n .,. lnl- anil oil ln,t .
crowded round the ladder, hut the custom
house boat prevented any one from coming
aboNrd, It WIS only meant fen the a&ent-NnW
it happened that the agents boat was behind
all the other boats and the agent called out
that the others could 80 on board before him
but only after some waiting was this allow
ed. This looked ridiculous, tire moment the
doctor has given pratlque, then every one Is
allowed to 80 on board and not alone the
agent. 1t must be left to the captain aud
the ships officers to carry out my lnstruc-
tions as to the Agents first going on board, if
such Instructions be given, but the Danish
officials ule not the ones to execute such IN
structions, Government should see that the
custom officials did not go on board with the
doctor. The pilot is the only one allowed ON
board an incoming vessel until pratlquo IS
granted and / if pratique be refused the yes
sci according to law must pay Tor lhe plIol )
eventual quarantine, whereas if n Customs
official goes on board aud IS qualantined the
expenses fall on the Colonial Treasury.
The Speaker has heard ii said that the pub
lie is not allowed on board because the doc
tor does not wish to be Delayed and the
boat being the ~Customhouse boat is 10 take
the mails, but it must be remembered that the
boat is only used by the Doctor through cour-
tesy OF the Government, be has no right to the
use and here, as everywhere else, passengers
must take precedence Of mail.
His L,cceHeHcU nswere that he was
placed in somewhat Of a difficulty to answer
this Interpolation taking the words Of it. The
hon. Member should have complained to
Government, as before he had heard what
the other party had to say, it was impossi-
bic for His Exceljency to express any opin-
ion here in the ,ouncil on the special eases
pointed out now by the speaker. As far rs
His EXcellency knew, it was customary in
most ports, that the agent is allowed to 20
on board before others. That the customs
official went on board with the Doctor
should be examined 10y Government; but
the whole matter cannot be answere before
it has been laid before the quarantine Com
mission.
