Mr Halt said there was a rumor abroad that great laxity and neglect Lad existed somewhere in not getting a medical man to attend the hospital during the late absence of Dr Leahy in Danedin attending the Supremo Court. From enquiries made by himself he had ascertained that everything possible had been done, but as there was a feeling of discontent abroad he thought it would be well that the whole of the circumstances of the case should be made known.
