    No. 9. Sir E. Malet to Earl Granville.—{Received August 28.) (Extract) Cairo, August 16, 1833. WITH reference to your Lordship’s instruction to me to make inquiries and report upon the tax formerly levied on the carcases of animals interred, I have the honour to inform your Lordship that I have called upon the Consular authorities in this Consular district to inquire into the matter, and to inform me whether they are of opinion that the tax has been levied by the local authorities since its abolition in 1880.* No. 10. Sir E. Malet to Earl Granville.—(Received August 28.) My Lord, Cairo, August 17, 1883. WITH reference to Mr. Cookson's despatch to your Lordship of the 9th instant,! inclosing two letters from Dr. Ferrari, at Damietta, showing that the sanitary state of the town was again being neglected, I have the honour to inform your Lordship that, on receiving similar information, I at once called the attention of the Minister of the Interior to the matter, and I beg to inclose a copy of a letter from his Excellency in reply, by which it will be seen that he had already given instructions on the subject to the Governor of Damietta and to the President of the Board of Health. It appears also from Mr. Cookson’s despatch to your Lordship of the 16th instant, that the state of things complained of by Dr. Ferrari was being remedied. [ have &c. (Signed) ’ EDWARD B. MALE!’. Inclosure in No. 10. Khairy Pasha to Sir E. Malet. Mon cher Ministre, Le Caire, le 15 Aout, 1883. TOUT en vous remerciant pour le renseignement que vous avez bien voulu me donner au sujet des deux Rapports envoyes par le Dr. Ferrari au Conseil Quarantenaire en date du 2 et 5 courant, et que j’ai l’honneur de vous retourner ci*inclus, je crois de mon devoir de porter a votre connaissance que le President du dit Conseil m’en avait transmis copie le 1J courant et que le meme jour j’en donnais communication a la Presidence du Conseil de Sante et d’Hygiene avec ordre de s’en occuper pour ce qui le concerne. Je crois aussi utile d’ajouter que j’ai informe le Gouverneur de Damiette des plaintes dont il s’agit en l’engageant de faire de son mieux pour qu’elles aient a cesser. Veuillez, &c. (Signd) K HAIRY. (Translation.) My dear Minister, Cairo, August 15, 1883. WHILE thanking you for the information you have been so good as to give respect- ing the two Reports sent by Dr. Ferrari to the Quarantiue Board, and dated the 2nd and 5th instant, which I have the honour to return herewith, I think I ought to inform you that the President of the said Board had sent me copies of them on the 11th instant, and that the same day I communicated them to the office of the President of the Health and Sanitary Board, with instructions to deal with them so far as he was concerned in the matter. I think it would be well to add that I have informed the Governor of Damietta of the complaints in question, and have prevailed upon him to do his best to prevent their recurrence. I have, &c. (Signed) KHAIRY.
