POOR-LAW MEDICAL RELIEF. 493 others, in respect of salary, I had not, as is now proved, a chance of their being accepted; and why ? A few weeks before the expiration of the year the ass:stant-commissioner visited the union, when he inquired of the guardians if there was any complaint against the medical officers; to which there was a reply in the negative. " Oh !" says he, " then they must be re-elected." " But what will Mr. say, for we have not acted quite the thing towards him ?" was the immediate question. " Oh! never mind him; he lost it in the lucky year," was Mr. Com. missioner's rejoinder. Such, then, is a part of the " tender system," as appertains to the conduct of guardians, assistant-com. missioners, and of one medical man towards another. Now, however, the office is made permanent alto. gether, and I have no further interest in the matter. I give this as another and a prettrspecimen of fair conduct and treatment towards a professional man. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, A. March 6, 1844.
