- Title:
- Measures in Relation to an Outbreak of Cholera in Aden
- Scope & Content:
-
This item comprises copies of enclosures to a despatch from the Government of Bombay Secret Department to the Secret Committee, Number 99 of 1846, dated 27 August 1846. The enclosures are dated 31 July-24 August 1846.
The item comprises a letter from the Secretary to the Government of India to the Secretary to the Government, Bombay, informing him that, subsequent to the recent (now subsided) outbreak of cholera in Aden: the details of any future outbreak should be reported by the Political Agent, Aden, to the British Consul in Egypt, in order to reassure the Egyptian Government of the true extent of the disease; and that, if the Bombay Government considers the outbreak sufficiently serious, a prohibition of passengers landing at Aden should be put into effect as a precaution.
Also included are letters from the Chief Secretary to the Government, Bombay, notifying the Political Agent, Aden, of this policy, and requesting the opinion of the Bombay Medical Board as to the extent of the disease which would justify the prohibition measure being put into effect.
The last two enclosures, the Bombay Times summary of intelligence and the Bombay Overland Courier, are noted as ‘Missing 29.10.1906’.
