3.

With regard to Mr. Woodcock's

memorial, it omits to record the fact that in last February

he stated that he wished to be considered a candidate for

the post of Headmaster of Queen's College; and, although he

subsequently explained that his statement that he was not

qualified for the post of Second Master at the College was

not inconsistent with his application to be considered a

candidate for the Headınastership, as the Headmaster is

concerned with matters of administration only and does not

teach a class, I find it difficult to reconcile his

former application with his present memorial looking to the

fact that although the Headmaster does not take permanent

charge of a class he inspects each class in rotation twice

daily, a task which does not essentially differ from the

conduct of a particular class, and for which the disabili-

-ties which Mr. Woodcock now urges as unfitting him for the

post of Second Master would equally unfit him.

4.

r. Woodcock also bages his

petition upon two Medical Certificates, one from Dr.

Aubrey

and the other from Dr. Harston, to the effect that he

suffers from deafness and neuralgia, and is, therefore, not
