in the margin regarding the discharge of
Mr. J. Taylor from the Hongkong Police
Force, I have the honour to inform you
that upon receipt of the details set forth
in the enclosure to your Despatch No. 158 of the 5th. ultimo,
I caused further enquiries to be made into the nature of Mr.
Taylor's unfitness for further service in the Police, and
requested the Principal Civil Medical Officer to report
whether the injuries received by him at the fire referred to
in his letter of the 14th. April to your Department were such
as were likely to have a permanent effect on his capacity for
earning his living.
2.
I attach a copy of Dr. Atkinson's report,
from which it will be seen that in his opinion the injury to
the back was likely to incapacitate him for some time from
earning his living; and that when he was discharged from
Hospital as fit for duty he was still complaining of his back.

It was pointed out to the Principal Civil
Medical Officer that the certificate issued by him and Dr.
