A Complaint.

TO THE EDJTOB. gIE, — I, B. Nnpoleon, late warder of the Wftneanui Hojpifcal, having he!d that position for the last cix months nnd a half, during which time I gave every satisfaction . until last Saturday, December 16th, when Mr Ritchifl went round tho Hospital and found come fault with the grounds. An hour liter the matron called me in and told me that Mr Ritflhie was dissatisfied with the state of the grounds, and that if I did not attend to and keep them clean, eta , ho wonld have to discharge ma. Now when I first went to the Hospital, I waa given to understand that my duties would be ihoae of a warder, atd that Mies Hope and the doctors nere lbe onlj odbs I had to look to •for orders ; therefore, I think I was quite juitified in refusing to obey Mr Ritchie. In looking after the grounde, and it was in contequence of that refupal that Mr Sitchie discharged me without notice or wages, in lieu of notice. Now, sir, I have always und iretood that boforo one of the Hospital staff: could bs discharged tbcro would have to b? a meetiug of the Board to enquire into the circumstances attending the dismissal, and that the person discharged should bs allowed to attend to defend him or her self agaicsc any \ charges made against him or hpr. In conclusion I wish to etato that T havo been in Mew Zealand for 18 year 3 oft and on, and master mariner for 12 rears, a* my certificates can prove, and during the whole time I have borne a good fibarnetßr, tnd it is in consequence of that I wish to clear myself before the public of Wanganui and to have as good b character now I have loft thn Hospital as when I entered it. Hoping thai, yon will insert as much of this as you think fit.— l am, etc., Be»tkA3i Nai'oleos.
