he shall carefully preserve all tMtt etortet* examination. "HlßskKea herewith is a fan record of tbe pro -eekmgsof fee enquiry, which occupied several SjiHezetlier with the notes of evidence which I considered advisable to Have very complete, Li all papers and correspondence bearing on the Mbject of the enquiry which have been re feredtome. F. W. A. Skae, Sopsrintenaeat of Lunatic Asylums and Hospitals. The letter and report were duly received. Applications were Q en °P * rom medical gentlemen desiring to be appointed on the medical ataff of toe Hospital, and alia for the position of Medical Officer to the Charitable Aid Department. Before proceeding to the consideration of these aprfieatione, Dr. Turabull moved—" That the appoint ment of a Hospital staff be postponed for one socth, so that the Board may firat have an opportunity of carefully considering the re- , port of the Eoyal Commission upon the Sieged false certificates." He pointed out thftt the report made by Dr. Skae contained grave charges which might be found to implicate certain gentlemen concerned in the consideration of the appointment of a staff, and this fact should be held to affect ike ballot. Besides he thought it was only ine to the Government, who had taken some trouble in the matter, that the report of their tfficer Bhould receive due consideration before making iuch appointments. Mr Hawkes suggested thai the Hospital jtaff might refuse to continue in office, in which ease the Board would be placed in a false position. Mr Brown said he would second the motion if the mover would reduce the time to one week instead of a month.
Dr. Tnmbnll said he had no objection to amend his resolution.
