foro these probationers could be obtained, and, eventually, in May, 1914, the whole of the unofficial members voted in favour of a motion by Mr. PoLook asking for the appointment of a Comunission of five unofficial Justices of the Fence for the purpose of investigating and reporting. upon the whole question. The GOVERNOR declined to accept this motion, on tho ground that it would be impossible to appoint a committee to inquire into each of the applications from heads of depart. BRANDY ment for increases of staff with which he did not agree. To all generalisations, there are, of course, exceptions, and that the Hospital Department was one such exception is proved by the admissions which have recently been wrung from the Government by dint of persistent cross- examination on the part of the Hon. Mr. POLLOCK, K.C. Throughout there has been an evident desire to create the im- pression that nu legitimate cause for complaint exists and to stifle inquiry by giving evasive and incomplete answers to questions. If anyone doubts this let hing turn back to the reports of the Legislative Council meetings beginning on June 29th of this year. It required a lot of trouble to elicit the fact that the affective staff had fallen to nearly one. half the establishment, or that there had been a constant procession of new Chinese dressers, who were represented as such efficient assistants to the Sisters: Even when the information was forth coming it was accompanied by explana tions which were unconvincing. The plea was advanced that it was difficult to ob tain trained mursca owing to the war, but, it appeared, nevertheless, from the records of the Colonial Nursing Associa- tion that nurses, had been sent to other Crown Colonies. With the object of re
