elrolanh on

16th October declared

without

that the possibility of a patient being brought to the Hospital and dying under the Superintendent was most discreditable to Government Hospital.

It's obvious that ell"ellarsh's instructions if carried out will

greatly increase this possibility. A propos of this, the Council have before them the inquisition into the death of Ito Chiin, who was brought to the Civil Hospital one afternoon with his thigh crushed, and died for want of Medical attendance, because I was absent at an inquest.

It has been very difficult for

my thoughts upon this

subject, and this perhaps is the

reason

of my explanation not having been found satisfactory in the first instance.

In connection with this

question I beg to lay before the Council a copy of this statement and copies of the following papers, viz.:

1. The Inquisition into the death of Ito Chiin, who was

brought to the Civil

Hospital with his thigh crushed while

about at

the Superintendent was at an inquest, dated November 1877,

2.

Report of Deputy Surgeon General Breen, A.M.D., and Deputy Surgeon General Thomson, A.M.D., to the effect that the work performed by the Superintendent of the Civil Hospital

was excessive, dated November, 1880,

3.

Two memoranda of Dr. Row,

Apothecary and Analyst, refusing to carry out Government Orders on the plea of overwork; dated May 11.'86, and June 21.'86
