Sir,

Government Civil Hospital
dated Jan PS 3rd 1880

I have the honor to forward copies of two letters dated exclusively 29th and 31st ultimo received by me to the Superintendent of the Government Civil Hospital and also his replies thereto

As it appears from the above of these replies that the correspondence might be continued indefinitely without any useful result, I forward it for the consideration of His Excellency the Governor

The Superintendent judging from his better replies both cultivated evidently considers I am exceeding my powers as the Head of the Medical Department in calling his attention to the rule that no Government Official can engage in private practice without special permission from Government - and that I am guilty of necessarily irritating interference with the employment of his leisure hours, this point I submit for the considered decision of His Excellency the Governor

In the last paragraph of the second letter the Superintendent asserts "That I have not recently learned anything which I did not know six years ago, and that I have availed myself personally and for patients official and private, of such skill and experience as he possesses" and "I was aware six years ago, of one patient who used to go to him for advice although his residence in the Hospital locality destroyed, but until the latter part of last year, I was not aware of his engaging in anything like private practice." I have always availed myself of his services in consultation when required it for Government Officials drawing under £400 a year also for any one under my charge confined in Government Establishment I have also called him in to consultations administering chloroform to some of my private patients for which he has received the usual fees, but I did not think I was exceeding my duty in doing this, as consultations are permitted to Army Surgeons, not forbidden private practice
