fatally. The Board, in their letters, condemned the
neglect at Or. NVyke.dmith, but, taking into con-
%aeration the fact that it was the first time such a
charge had beim brought against him, they did not
call upon him to resign. At the same time he was
informed that he was bound to attend personally and
promptly on all the sick paupers entrusted to his care.

be established against him the Board would feel
it necessary to take very serious notice of hi.
conduct. A letter from Mr. Wyke.tirnith to the
Wimborne Guardians was also read, in which he ten-
dered his nmignation on the ground that it was
impossible for him to discharge the duties of medical
officer personally, ai required by the Local Govern-
ment Board, without seriously interfering with the
interests of his private patients. He wished to retain •
his poition as medical officer of the workhouse and
also his duties AS public vaccinator for the No. 2
District. The guardians decided to obtain the
opinion of the Local Governinent Board as to
whether Mr. Wyke-liguith could retain the last two
appointments after resigning the pisition of medical
othcer.
