debarred from private practice admits his error.
Therefore accepting Dr Price's resignation which he tendered reluctantly, and only under the urgent advice of a Gentleman who kindly interested himself on his behalf, I consulted with my colleagues of the Council, and also with the Colonial Surgeon as the head of Dr. Price's department. These one and all agreed in the expediency of permitting Dr Price to leave, and for the two reasons already given in my despatch (1) that the main object of removal of an unfit person was gained by the substitution in his place of an Officer qualified to conduct with propriety the duties of the Civil Hospital, and (2) that charitable consideration might be shown to one with wife and family dependent on him.
I may remark that the severer course might have opened up a road to public scandal, of which this Colony has had its ample share, and which I have always been consistent in my endeavors to avert whenever reasonably possible.
And I entertained a doubt of this measure's approval of the proceeding which I did not think it necessary to do more than briefly report.
