The following is an extract from a letter received for publication, rc the dis missal of the Hospital attendant, which took place on Thursday: “Prom what I can hoar the dismissal of that official is both unjust and arbitrary. He has, for some months past filled the office of at tendant to the Hospital, to the full satis faction of the Medical officer in charge, and now because he would not fill up any spare time he might have in clearing a paddock of thistles, &c., he has, without any warning, been dismissed by the Chair man.” There is little doubt but what hospital expenses want cutting down. The charges on account of that institution have been very largo. Judging even by remarks in the letter of complaint, the Chairman is anxious to effect reforms, and in the interests of the general public, has begun to curtail expenses. There is little doubt but what the Council will support the Chairman in Ids difficult task.
