With reference to paragraph 17 the facts
On the 11th. January I saw the Wardmaster concerning Dr. Moore's report of the 10th. January and told him that it would have to be reported to the Government.
I was instructed on the 15th. January to
ask Egerton whether he would accept dismissal or appear before
the Executive Council.
At my interview with him on the 17th.
January I reminded him that he had been severely reprimanded on
the 12th. December last for being absent from duty and that he
was then warned that any further neglect of duty would be more
seriously dealt with.
I referred to his having allowed this
patient to escape when he was on duty, and told him of the
decision of the Government. •
He said he would consider the matter.
The following day he sent in his resignation...
only it was worded in such a way that I could not forward it to
Government. I returned it to Dr. Moore telling him to inform
the Wardmaster that it must be worded very differently before
I could forward it.
On the 21st. January he sent in his resigna-
-tion as attached.
I do not remember his having said to me that
by accepting a position under Government he had forfeited a
right to his passage home. Dr. Moore who was present also has
no recollection of this.
20th. August, 1907.
