Hon. 70 a. Dr. Clark, the Principal Civil Medical Officer,

was called.
He was sworn by His Excellency, and, asked to state what he
knew relating to the serious charges brought against Dr. Laing, said :-
I know nothing personally. On Sunday 28th May Dr. Bell reported in writing that Dr. Laing had been drunk on three occasions that month.
On Monday I saw Dr. Laing before Dr. Bell, when I told him the nature
of the charges brought against him, saying that as the matter was
a very serious one it would have to go before Your Excellency.
Laing
him, and
Dr.
beequentie said he had been taking more than was good for
ed been trying to pull himself together by taking e bromiče
About 14 days later when he heard that he would have to
appear before the Council he said he had been suffering from a whitlow on the thumb and had been taking bromide mixture on that
account. I did not discuss the matter any further. I may say I
have never seen Dr. Laing intoxicated.
His Excellency How often do you see him ?
Hon. Dr. Clarks I have seen him practically every day since Dr. Atkinson
went away in March. I see him at about noon every day and he is always
sober about his work. Irevious to the report, however, had noticed
that he was showing a marked trembling of the hand, which is sometimes
produced by elchohol, and is not produced by any other drug. I noticed that but did not say anything as you can hardly accuse a man unless you
see him.
Sir H. S. Berkeley
Trembling of the hand is caused by alchohol rather
