It has further been suggested that in these
cases free maintenance in Government Medical Institutions
should also be allowed. But I see no reason to recommend
this; and I think that a distinction should be drawn between
the cost of medical treatment and nursing, which should not

should be charged. I should be glad to have your ruling on
this point also.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient, humble servant,
Governor, &c.
