Of

With reference to your despatch No.314 of the

5th, December last, I regret to state that Mr. Charles Crabb,H

Hos-

pital Warder in the Victoria Gaol, attempted to commit suicide

on the 27th.ultimo and was removed to the Government Lunatic

Asylum on the 28th, ultimo, suffering from acute melancholia

with suicidal tendencies, according to the medical report.

2. The Principal Civil Medical Officer states

that the patient requires constant watching and is not in a

fit state to be sent home at present, but if he recovers suffi- ciently, arrangements might be made for an attendant to accom-

pany him to England. In the meanwhile I would suggest that his

friends or relatives be informed of his state of health and

and asked whether they are prepared to receive him or arrange for his reception into an asylum as soon as it is possible to send him home.

3. I have, of course, terminated Mr. Crabb's ap- pointment on the ground of his infirmity, and I request that

a successor may be appointed on the terms contained in the enclosed paper of particulars and sent out to the Colony at The Right Honourable

the

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, M.]
