SHIP "BOMBAY."
THE Commissioners report that they found all the compartments allotted to the Immigrants in a very satisfactory condition, especially that of the single females; all of whom presented an exceedingly cleanly and respectable appearance, and were reported by the Master and Surgeon as having conducted themselves in a satisfactory manner throughout the voyage.
The Immigrants appeared cheerful and grateful for the care and attention shown them by the Master and Surgeon.
The Commissioners consider that great want of judgment was shown in the selection of the Matron. The important duties of that office had to be performed by a Sub-Matron selected from the Immigrants, owing to the total unfitness and incapacity of the person appointed in London.
The Commissioners’ attention was drawn to the very imperfect protection afforded by the fore and main hatches; the latter was of such slight construction as to be useless to keep out the water shipped over the side. On more than one occasion the ‘tween decks had been flooded in consequence.
The position of the Hospital was bad; and the Commissioners strongly object to the plan of placing the only Hospital available for females in the married people’s compartment.
The Commissioners recommend that full gratuities be paid—the Sub-Matron being substituted for the Matron.
