Fr Starland is a Medical officer well known here, he is on Doctor of Muchicine (1844) of the Edinburgh University, and e Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (December 1845). He also possenes an Strunary Certificate from University College London, and a Gold Medal (clase of Midwifery) from the University of Bdinburgh. He is now employed
310
by the principal Mercantile Firms, and it would gratify myself and the Public generally, should your Inace be enabled to appoint him permanently to the office of Surgeon, for which his long residence in China and perfect acquaintance with the diseases incidental to the
Colonial
climate fully qualify him.
In Despatch "Separate" from this Office, dated 27th December 1848, I proposed that whenever a vacancy
occurred in the
Office of Colonial
Surgeon, it should, with
to
reference economy, be filled by one of the Staff Assistant Surgeons attached to the Garrison :_ when that Despatch.
