[Wharry had taken ill in 1883 and, while taking leave of absence, was stood in by Arthur J. Wharry. There was a record in the minutes of the Legislative Council for the approval of government expenses including a line item of remuneration payable to Arthur Wharry of $78 ($6 per day x 13 days). The two Wharry(s) might be related, but unfortunately, I found no references to confirm that. Arthur Wharry gave an address in 1884 at Seymour Terrace, Seymour Road.]
