THE TUAPEKA HOSPITAL.
( To the Editor. J Sis,— l am credibly informed that our present Hospital Committee is allowing the j institution to be the receptacle for inebriates of the worst type. By bo doing, the Committee are betraying a trust pi iced in their hands by subscribers. Tbe gaol is the proper place for confirmed inebriates, and not tbe I Hospital. The men who drink till they make themselves incapable of working, and until i their last sixpence, is gone, are juit the men who never subscribe to the Hospital. What are the police- doing when they neglect their duties so far as to allow these men to be taken to the Hospital, when by taking them to the gaol they might have prevented their present deplorable condition ? Can you inform me if the rules of the Hospital are being honestly carried out, or are they only winked at ?— I dm, &., Subscriber.
