PAROCHIAL MEDICAL OFFIt'ELt.—It ROHM sp.
pear that young medical men willing to accept workhouse
appointments are very scarce, or that parochial authori-
ties are very fastidious in their selection. Mr. Butt, the
resident medical officer of Bt. Nacres workhouse, having
resigned his office, the vestry, with whom the appointment
rests, directed advertisements to be issued for candidates
to fill the vacant office, at a salary of 1601., rising to 200/.
• year, with vaccination fees, and board and lodging. A
special meeting, of the vestry was held to receive applica-
tions from candidates, examine testimonials, &c., and to
make a selection of two or three, from whom the vestry at
its ordinary meeting were to elect one. Only one, however,
of the candidates was considered up to the parochial
standard, and fit to be sent to the vestry for election.
It was then said, "We cannot send up oniy one to the
vestry for re-election, for that would give them no choice ;
and as to that one, he is thirty-tive years of age, and if he
is a clever man wouldn't he have got on better by this time
and been above taking a workhouse appointment' so we
had better reject them all and advert's., again, and next
time we may have better luck." It was accordingly re-
solved to reject all the candidates and advertise again.
