Government Civil Hospital.

Hong-Kong, 23rd. February, 1898.

sir,

I have the honour to report that another Eu-

ropean Constable,on examination shortly after arrival,has

been found to have defective eyesight.

I refer to Herbert Hartley who arrived by

the S. S. "Bengal" on the 20th. instant.

He is suffering from Myopia of the right eye

with astigmatism and retinitis.

This may be remedied by treatment, it will

necessitate his being in Hospital for a month.

I have,&c.,

(Sd.) J. M. ATKINSON,

Principal Civil Medical Officer.

The Honourable

J.H. Stewart Lockhart,

Colonial Secretary.
