recorded against him during a period of over 3 years in

which he had rendered good service under this Government,

and that the lesson which he would derive from the loss of

his appointment here was one that should last him his life,

I decided to allow him to resign.

I am addressing you in a separate

Despatch, which is also a reply to your Confidential Des❤

-patch of the 13th. April, with regard to the appointment

of a successor.

I consider that Dr. J. Bell was

greatly to blame in allowing Dr. Laing to perform a serious

operation involving life when in a state of intoxication

and I have caused to be addressed to him a letter of which

a copy is enclosed. I have also instructed the Principal

Civil Medical Officer to inform Sister Allaway that she

was guilty of a grave error in judgment in not sending for

Dr. Bell when she realised Dr. Laing's condition.

I have the honour to be,

sir,

Your most obedient

Humble servant,

M. Nathan

Governor,

&C. •
