HOSPITAL COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT.

The monthly meeting of the above Com mittee took place yesterday afternoon, there being present: Mr _>?ackechnie (in the chair), Mr J. C. Firth, Mr W, C. Kensing ton, Mr S. JUando, Mr A. Bull, Mr J, M, Clark (Mayor), and Col. Haultain.

Ten dees for Bedding.—Tenders to a total amount of £122 0s 6d were accepted a, follows:-80 s'raw palliasses, 8 hair mattra^e-, and 24 pillows T. and H. Cooke; 30 blankets, U. Atkins ; 30 blankets, A. O. iStepneuson ; 120 counterpanes, Smith and Caugluy. SH-XT_R Sheds.—The following tele gram from the Colonial S cretary was sub milted :—''Mr riaks rep.r's that he can erect a shed according to instructions for £100, but Committee want one to co.t £350. Government cannot afford to spend the later sum on a shelter. Have au thoristd Mr Hales to proceed. —I HOMAS Dick."

Dv Stoci-.vell's Kesionation.—The Chairman announced that Dr. Stockwell hud r . igncd his position on the medic. I staff in consequence of the Committee's di-termirition to placs in one of the wards a negro patient from the Refuge who was suffering fiom gangrene. Dr. fatockwell, ou teeing this man, very pioperly wrote to the ei>muiittce rccommcuiiin^ Iris being at once removed. Before, however, the com mittee m.t, Dr. I tockw.ll had turned the old man out of the Hospital. Dr. is ockwellreported the st.-ps ana express,'.d _ yviJlioj-nt'-S to accept all responsib lily of theuet upo_ Liujs. If. At their next meeti g, 'he Mayor moved, " Tba' in the opiaion of the committee it would have bteu b-tter if, in. tead o? discharging tbe negro tarn, the mi dic_l officers had made arrangements for hi-i iiolotiou from other patients, and for his treatment in the Hospital, where he would have been beter attended to than was possible in the Refuge." This met with the approval of the committee, and wrs passed, '1 he terms of the motion, mild a. they w tie, appear to have been resented by Dr. Stock- Well, for shortly atieiwards he sent a letter resigning his appointment, Mr Firtti had very kindly interviewed Dr. Mockweli on the matter, and as-ured b m that the Committee by their action had in tended no offence. Still, be consider- d that in doiog this Mr Firth had given him self unnecessary trouble, for the Committee were sucrihci'.g time in the public interest quite as much as the uiedicul stiff. Mr Firth then explained the points of bin interview. Dr. Stockwell told him that he had contemplated resigning in any event, as hi. attendance at the Hospital involved a loss of tome £150 or £200 a year, while be had nearly lost a horse at the ttospi al through expo.ure to the weather.—The other members thought that the doct.-r should have assigneS these rea.ons at the outset for his action.

Rbpairs.—ln reply to.the Committee', hter ie rspairs, costing £1,514. the Colonial Secretary wrote stating that no money was uv. Uable at present, and that the Govanment hoped to introduce a toll to nlea'-e the rents of some endowments.

old Pkoplk's Refuge.— * letter was received from the Colonial Secretary im proving the appointment uf Mr and Mrs Walteis to the charge of the raid People's Kefuge (near Hospital), at the same salary a. their pr-decessors. Mr and Mrs Mack. Dr. McKellar's Dismissal.—a le'ter was received from the Colonial Secretary's Office statiu.: that in accordance with the Committee's request, Dr. McKellar had been informed thai his services as resident medical titicer at the flo<pital would be dispensed with at the expiration of three months' notice from tbe Ist of August.' Letters were also received from Dr. McKellar (1) staling that he h-d written to the Colonial Secretary, asking him to accept his resignation, to take effect a month after date ; aud (2) denying that he had declined to give a .sit ance in examining tbe lenders for dru_s, and that he had looked after the uld People's Refuge as an act of charity. It was explained that the Committee sug gested his dtsmis->. las it was not possible to woik with them

A letter was al-o received from tbe honorary medical staff with reference to Dr McKellar's dismissal. They pointed out that no reason was alleged for ibe doctor s dismissal; that he had cot been guilty of irregularity of conduct or inatten tion to duty, but on tbe contrary, to their knowledge, he had bceo most devoted and assiduous, and that such a dismissal re corded in the public journal^ of the colony was, fn their opinion, an indignity of a most undes rved kind, andlikely to be very iujurious and damaging to him in after \e_r3. The visi'iug _taff also complained that they were not consulted in l)r Me l_e lar's removal, and regarded the omisuon »s a slight and indignity to them. _h°y They desired thecommiiteeto reconsider tbe course, to unconditionally withdraw their letter to the Colonial i-ecretary, and like wise that a copy of the letter of the visa ing staff should be forwarded to tbe Colo nial -jccretary's office, to be preserved among the official records. They also ex pressed the hope that in any similar occur rence the committee will be given the opportunity of expressing their opinion' on the subjic . This letter was signed by D... V, H. Haines, J. H. Hooper, W. Stockwell, and C. F. Goldsbro". In a further letter to Dr. _■ took well, Dr. Goldsbro' qualifi d some of the above statement?, writing: "I did not agree wi h certain portious of the letter to be for wa ded to the Hospital Committee, especially of ' attention and ability of Dr. M, ckellar.' When 1 had charge of the Hos pit _', and at the commencement of Dr. Mackellar's residence, I was not saiisfied with the manner in which ih. duties were carried on. Siuce my retnro from the South I have had little or no connection with the Eospital, but from the in fo m tion I have received from the working staff, 1 r. Mackellar has greatly improved in usefulness and manners towards teem. I still told that Dr Mackellar is wanting in prac ical ability, and though highly qualified as a pathologist, he lacks that energy which is so greatly required in a hospital where active promptitude and imm.diate action are indispensable. I beg to add that Dr. Mackellar should have, in my . plni >n, been allowed to resign, as the course now taken may prejudice his future career."

Col nel Haultain consider, d that Dr. Mac* kellar had been barshly dealt with ; he shoud have beeu allowed to resign, as his predecessor had. The act ot dismissal affixed an unom rated stigma to bis name. Mr Bull was of opinion tbat C.l nul Haultain had no right to criticise tbe pievious action of the committee seeing that it was his own fault that he had not been present to assist in its de liberations, be felt that to be his own position also.—Mr Claik (Mayor) vindU cated the action of the committee. Dr McKellar was an unworkable, crotchety man, and perhaps rather deficient in common sense. Those were bis tailings, and he did not believe he would be cured of them, -The chairman and Mr Firth stated there had been no intention to affix a stigma on the doctor's character, the Chairman remarked that he did not attach much imponauce to the letter of the medical stuff, after rear ing Dr. Goldsbro's qualificatory letter. —It was also stated that Dr. Stockwell wrote the letter, and ' that the other doctors thought its terms unne.e.sanly harsh, while Dr, Fhiisou had declined to sign it for that very reason.—Mr Firth said that as a matter of fact Dr. Stickwell should not have signed it at all, seeing that he had resign-d his position on the staff.—After some further discussion, the secret try, on the motion ot Mr Bull, was instructed to acknowledge the receipt of the letter from the visiting staff, and with re'erence to tbat portion of it wherein it is stated that circumstances connected with Dr. Mackellar's termination of office are likely to be very injurious and damaging to bim in after years, to inform them tbat this result would be contrary to any intentions of the committee, and that with a view to obviate it, the committee have foiwarded Dr, Mackellar's resigna tion to tbe Colonial Secretary, with a re commendation that it may be accepted and the dismissal cancelled,

RESIGNATION OF HUBSE..—The Lady Superintendent iuf-rmed the committee that _.uiS"s McCartney, Napier, Belling ham, and Moore declined to remain at toe reduced salary of £45, as decided on by the Colonial Secretary. She did not approve of a stiff of permanent night-nurses, and suggested instead four night-nurses at £ SO, and three night-nurses at £.')(), which would give seven assistant nur.es, who would do the night-nursing in turns. —It wa. agreed that steps should be taken to fill up the vacancies on Ist September on the bai is of tbe la ly superintendent's recommendations, and t .at nur-ea be advertised for, The assist aut^cook ia also to be reduced to £50 a year at the cad of the monib, and if he leaven temporary arrangements vt ill be made till tbe vacancy can he filled up.

Consumption of Spirits.—The chair man said tbat iv consequence of a com sumption of spirits that seemed to him very large, be had directed Mr Brye., the house steward, to fuxnl.U an account of the

wines, spirits, and beers onl__i^ hospitainse, a statement of the __lr. * consumed during the month eTW* and whether or not it w as in °ly ' or the usual average monthl. « n _ .esa He bad also requeste" ffifflg[oa: each month an Account of th^ coll", 01 o the previous month might *2?tt_ htm for the linformation ,1 _,?SS . *°, and be warned the house stewaS u 1 careful to gtve out no alcoholic Haur,™" cept on the wit'en order of the _J% e3t" medicallofficer, or of a member of^ttSfep ing staff, and had also dffiSjJ* orders should be filed.

Bishop Hadflcld's Opinions,

CBY TEEEGRAPII -SPKCUI, ItEPORTEE,)

WELLINu.ON, this day. Dk. Hadfield, the Anglican Bishop of Wellington, was examined before the Kdu. cation Petition Cimmit-.e to-day, and I have ascertained that hi 3 evidence was to tbe followin. effect •— He and thos. who think with him on the Church of England intend m-ki-g a stroag ill' rt at next general election to secure denotmuatioualism. They .illijotbe satisfied with a grant in aid of tbtir schools, but will expect foil c-pitatioD. To secure this, they intend organising at once, and will j-ive a block vote, Bishop Hadfield 13 of opinion that ia town schools religious instiuotion should, be given daily, though iv small county schools the nccessiiy of giving religions instruction is not so great. Bishop Moraa will be examined on Wednesday., Mcxirs Swauson, Daigaville, and other _ uckland members to-morrow present six petitions to the House of Kepresent-tives la favour of the present system of educa* tion,

Anglican Sympathy With Catholic Claims.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PKESS ASSOCIATION,)

WELLINGTON, Monday, PREACHING at St. Mary's, the Rev. B, Coffey said he had been requested to ask his congregation to sign a petition in opposition to the Catholic claims in regard to education He could not do so, for the Catholic claims were for the glory of God, and were in prin ciple the same as those made by the repre* tentative- of the Church of England and the various denominations, So far, these claim. have been successfully opposed by the sap porters of Godless education, partly on the plea that they were afraid of the Komaa Catholic_ It could Dot be said of bim that he had aoy leaning toward Romish doo trines, but he would rather have a good Catholic to deal with than an Agno.tio Materialist, or Atheist, which" were the denominations now monopolising the schools.

YOUTHFUL JACK SHEPPARDS.

(BY TELEaRAPII—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

DUNEDIN, Monday, A COUPLE of juvenile Jack Sheppards, named John Scott and Henry Poppleton, who were recently committed to the,lndus trial School, made their escape from.tho." institution on Thursday last, and were not captured till Saturday, wh.n they had got as far as Palmerston. Tbey state that they left the school about six o'clock in the morning, and in getting to the North- East Valley, took two horses oat of Fer guson's paddodk, near the Lower Junction 1 Hotel, and rode them along the main road. After passing Waitata, they took a saddle and briole from a ' stable, and went on to Evondale, where they i stopped for the night. Next morning 'a hawker, who also stopped there, and who had a horse and cart, offered to buy one ol the horses they had for £3, and they asked the local blacksmith to draw a receipt hut 3 after making Inquiries he declined to do bo, and they parted with the horse to the hawker for 10i. They then left for Wai- j kouaiti, both riding the same horse, -and took a pair of ducks from Eilmog, the p operty of Kobert Fiaircis, and sold them a short distance further on. Atij Waikouatti, they ftiycd at the Royal Hotel, and in the morning took the blankets off the bed and went a way with them, and proceeded to Palmerston Soma distance north of Waikoua'ti, they found|a hone on the road, which they took with : them, and on getting to Pleasant Valley, . th e y took a saddle out of a shed belonging to Mr Kennedy, and put it on the animal. When near Palmerston they met a man riding a horse, who gave them 5s and a very old worthless saddle for the one they had stolen. The lads were brought before the City Police Court this morning, and re manded till to-morrow. One is over 14 years old and tbe other 12.

MR HODGSON'S CHALLENGE.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—My reasoris for not complying with I Mr Hodgson's challenge under it) present form, viz., to discuss the subject of "Con-. ¥ ditional Immortality''.hrougta the "Bible I Standard," are : (1) It would take more time than I have at my disposal, (2) The "Bible Staudatd" is only published monthly. (3) A debate through its columns would spread over twelve months at least. (4) Its circulation is limited and only goes, as a rule, to those who support its views. Under these considerations I do not deem it wise to entertain Mr Hodgson proposition. If Mr H, is desirous of having the debate appear in print, so as to give the "general public ample opportunity to calmly and patiently judge its metn-™ the following plan would me-it the rfitfaii_. ment: If Mr Hodgson will consent toT-old, say, a three niahts'debate in any of onr public halls, we can then have it reported - and printed, either in the " Bible . t indard" or in pamphlet form, and circulate it far and near; tbi-, 1 think, would meet the' case. If Mr Hodgson can see his way clear 1 to meet me, say on Tue-day, Wednesday, and Thursday nights, 14th, 15lh, and 16th inst., I shall be pleaded to do so. Arrange ments can be made in the meantime. Seeing tbat Mr Hodgson has recently challenged some gentlemen in Auckland to an oral debate on the same subject, he may conclude, which I hope he will, to meet me ,| on the nights named.—Yours, __c„
