TREATMENT.
CONVICT IN A "GLORIFIED NURSING HOME."
DEATH ENQUIRY,
"The Prison Hospital is a glorified nursing home," declared Dr. A. Gannon at the Central Magistracy this morning, during an enquiry into the death of a convict, held before the Coroner, Mr. E. W. Hamilton.
Dr. Cannon, who is medical officer attached to Victoria Gaol, said he first saw the deceased, Mak Hoy, who was entered on the prison rolls as Convict No. 879, upon his admission on January 21, 1927, to serve a five years' term for the theft of a postal packet.
. The prisoner was immediately examined and put down sa suffer- ing from beri-beri. At that time he was not actually ill, and was able to do a little work, at his own: request, in the printing shop.
Berl-berl, said witness, was a malady which could continue over an indefinite period, and, in some cases, sufferers had been known to carry on for years. The main points in the medical history of the present case, were that the. on for some patient carried
months, before he was admitted into the Prison Hospital on Jan- uary 6. He was discharged from Hospital after a fortnight, but, 20 days later, again came up for sick parade.
Witness considered it-advisable to put him back to Hospital, where he remained for a whole year. receiving what witness described as very special and expensive treatment." He was discharged on February 5 of this year, at his own repeated request.
Bored with Hospital.
The Coroner: He got bored with the Hospital and wanted to go back to his work?
Dr. Cannon: Yes, that is exact- ly what happened. I thought that a little occupation would not do him any harm..
Continuing, witness sald...the deceased carried on quite well until the 18th instant, when he again appeared on sick, parade but asked only for medicine. Witness, however, decided to put him back to Hospital, as his heart was unsatisfactory. The special treatment was continued for the six days that the deceased remain. ed In Hospital until he died at 11 qʻelock yesterday morning, a

Question of Facts.
In his reply, Mr. da Silva stated that the real issue was a question of facts which of the parties had told the truth about the incidents on the night of the final quarrel. In the whole of the correspondence there was not a single suggestion that the defendant wanted his wife back or a suggestion of unfaithful conduct. "The letters showed the mentality of the man who by his education hould have a broader mind. When friends visited his house he gave them no opportunity to reake his acquaintance. ...
