circumstance that His Excellency should have had to consider the question of my responsibility without the evidence of the Superintendent of the Hospital being before him, and including a copy of the temperature chart of this case of Malarial Fever.
I, a Medical man of nearly twenty years' experience, most of it in this Colony, have been judged on the sole evidence of a young man regarding a case of tropical disease, when the evidence of a Government Medical Officer of large experience might have been at His Excellency's disposal. I submit that it is unjust, and that His Excellency should have had before him a report from Dr. Koch, with a chart of the case.
His Excellency calls in question my "devotion to duty". I submit that my whole career in the public service negatives any such charge against me. All service entrusted to me I have discharged to the best of my ability. And I have done more than my simple duty. In C.O.D. No. 323 of 7th October, 1902, Mr. Chamberlain specially expressed his appreciation of the work I had done on mosquitoes. The report of which this was an acknowledgment represented the results of twelve months of patient investigation done day by day in the evenings when my ordinary work was finished. In C.O.D. No. 227 of 7th September, 1898, appreciation was expressed of my work in connection with the Chinese Plague Hospital. I have been frequently called upon in the years that have intervened to advise the Government in reference to Malaria; and the Government acting on reports made by me, and urged by me at a time when the utility of what I proposed was seriously doubted in this Colony, have very materially reduced the morbidity and mortality from this cause. What I wish to emphasize, in repudiation of His Excellency's slur on my honour as a member of the Medical Profession, is that while the Government have in recent years taken my experience for granted and called upon me for reports all over the Colony when required, in the first instance I took up the question on my own initiative, and persistently urged action
