HOSPITAL INQUIRY.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —Your correspondents amuse me. ' Thev force on the Government a Royal Commission and then they grumble at its findings. Thev seem to forget that when a place is brought into disrepute thev themselves are to blame. The cold facts are not those Nemo suggests but that the people had been worked up to get even with “one man.” Let me add one law to those already enumerated. Punishment must be according to the nature and character of crime—in this case offence. The Department knows that, hence the closing of the Higgins’ incident. I think the nurse and her supporters are to be commended for their magnanimity, for thev could well have made a Supreme Court case of it, and then we would have had somo very different evidence. The Matron may have been doing just what every man does —following a party—but I think she is also doing what few men are capable of —shielding some one. I am only sorry Dr Bowie has come into the matter. —I am,- yours etc. Disgusted.
