REPORT ON THE
mature experience as a medical jurist, he compiled his work on Medical Jurisprudence, which
is considered by all judicial and medical officers in India to be a reliable authority in cases
of difficulty, as it contains information of a special kind in relation to this country which
cannot be obtained elsewhere. Dr. Chevers, by his uniformly courteous, attractive, and genial
manners, had formed a large circle of friends, both European and Native, in Calcutta, who,
while regretting his departure from amongst them, still wish him the full enjoyment of many
happy years of his well-earned repose at home, where no doubt he will be found foremost in
the ranks of the profession whose honor and interests he held so dear.
Surgeon-Major S. B. Partridge, Professor of Surgery in the Medical College and ex officio
first Surgeon in the Medical College Hospital, and Surgeon-Major J. Ewart, M.D., Superintend-
ent of the Presidency General Hospital, left Calcutta on furlough to England with Dr. Chevers,
and were succeeded by Surgeons-Major E. J. Gayer and J. Elliot, M.D., respectively.
Working of the
hospitals has been
eminently successful.
31. In conclusion, it is clear that the working of the Calcutta medical institutions
during the year 1876 has been eminently successful, and that the satisfactory result has been
obtained chiefly through the diligence, zeal, and ability with which the medical officers con
-cerned have performed their responsible (in some cases very onerous) duties.
Explanation of
the delay in submitting this report.
32. I regret that I have been unable to submit this report on an earlier date, owing,
in the first instance, to the delay there was in forwarding the returns and reports of certain
institutions to my office ; and afterwards to the necessity there was for returning some of them
for correction. The same causes have led to its rather hurried compilation ; however, I trust
that in it and in the summary reports of the various hospitals full information has been
afforded on all points connected with the working of the Calcutta medical institutions and of
the great amount of medical and surgical relief afforded in them to the sick poor of Calcutta
and its suburbs, which it may be the desire of His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor to be made
acquainted with.
