his control. Either the supervision exercised over him was very inadequate or there was not much to complain of till last April when Mr. Lister, the Acting Registrar General, reported that he had discovered a very disgusting case of neglect of the dying.
"I. tzee" (as the temple having been described) having seen cases of neglect, was called and seen the dead and dying huddled together indiscriminately, as reported in one of the local Journals. That evidence, however, shows that except in some rare cases of fanaticism, there were no cases of neglect amongst the Chinese, and inspires them with fear of contagion.
No cases were ever sent to the I. tzee except those which were judged hopeless. One witness stated that his brother had been refused admittance there on the ground that he was not in a dying state.
From the fact that dying Chinese were kept in small and filthy rooms attached to the Temple, betokening most revolting neglect.
110. The Coroner seems to have made a searching inquiry into the matter and to have taken considerable pains, as shown by the enclosed details and evidence adduced at the inquest.
The report was made as to the I. tzee by Inspector Petersen a short time after, indeed almost simultaneously with Mr. Lister's discovery of the disgusting state of affairs. Mr. Jaques concurred with the latter in thinking it very unlikely that the extremely bad state of things reported by him could have existed.
