of the Medical Officer in charge or the written consent of the
Assistant Medical Officer in charge,
Sa. J. A. Lowson,
12th. October 1894.
Acting Medical Officer in Charge.
To Warumasters Cumming and McKillop to note.
Sa. D. G. Cunning
Su. Jas. McKillop.
This latter measure I considered necessary for what I heard
after coming back from a holiday in Japan and what I Saw Wien
I arrived on October 10th. Cuming was also before the Colonial
Surgeon (when I was in Japan ) for taking liberties with the
Aman, but this is not entered in the kine Book.
After these and other measures taken matters improved to
a great extent, out lately again I have had some trouble in the
old direction. I caught the Varmasters' boy red-handed taking
whiskey into the Asylum a few weeks ago, anu then warned the
Waromasters.
Cumming left the Asylum this morning at 8.50 24 file - an un-
uscal proceeding.
When you have considered all tids you will come to the con-

When he comes back from Aberdeen I intend giving him a few days
holiday as I cannot as Medical Officer at present in charge of
the Asylums allow him to remain there just now for numerous
reasons- not the least of which is that the other servants atst
be protected from annoyance when Cumming finds out who has given
evidence in the matter,
Cumming as Senior Warumaster is the responsible officer in
charge when the Doctors re not in the Asylta and consequently
the
