the remarks which I made at the meeting and which were afterwards translated into Chinese and circulated throughout the Colony. Subsequently two meetings of the Chinese community held at the Hospital, newspaper reports of which are enclosed and it was finally decided Dec 18th 1891 to appoint from the 1st January as Resident Surgeon in the Tung Wa Hospital, Mr. Chung, who is at present House Surgeon in the Alice Memorial Hospital, on a salary of $400 a month without private practice. Mr. Chung is well known to the Chinese in this Colony and it is hoped that his continuous presence in the Hospital will gradually succeed in preventing the occurrence of such surgical enormities as are referred to in the evidence of the Medical witnesses who appeared before the Commission.
