H. B. M's. Consul General.

Dear Sir,

Charles Bithrey, who is undergoing two years' imprisonment, has suffered from a number of epileptic convulsions during the six months he has been confined in H. B. M's Consular Gaol.

His general health has become impaired; he has lost weight, and for the last six weeks he has required to be constantly watched, as on several occasions he has been seized with epileptic fits during the night.

In his present state, though excitable, he shows but little impairment of his intellectual faculties. But I am of opinion that a continuance of these epileptic fits will probably result in some grave mental derangement, which might take the form of an acute outbreak of epileptic mania, or epileptic dementia.

I consider it highly desirable that he should be transferred from Shanghai, where there is a want of proper accommodation,

Dear Sir,

Charles Bithrey, who is undergoing two years'impri-

sonment, has suffered from a number of epileptic convulsions

during the six months he has been confined in H. B. M's Consular

@aol.

His general health has become impaired he has lost

weight, and for the last six weeks he has required to be cons-

tantly watched, as on several occasions he has been seized with

epileptic fits during the night.

In his present state, though excitable he shows but

little impairment of his intellectual faculties. But I am of

opinion that: a continuance of these epileptic fits will probably

result in some grave mental derangement, which might take the

form of an acute outbreak of epileptic, mania, or epileptic

dementia

I consider it highly desirable that he should be trans-

ferred from Shanghai where there is a want of proper accomodation
