Tut ROYAL NATAL HOSPITAL, PLYMOUTH —Tun LATI
diciiime of the Admiralty on the case sub-
mitted to the recent Court of Inquiry at this establishment
has been Riven, and we undimmed it exonerates Dr. Rae
from all blame in regard to the charge preferred by Captain
Tulip Nicolas, the captain superintendent, and main the
memorandum which was so obnoxious to Dr. Rae and the
medical officers to be expunged from the records of the Hos-
pital. We have also learnt that the Conn of Inquiry was
demanded not by Captain Toup Nicolas, on account of any-
thing connected with the cholera reports, but by Dr. Rae
himself, on amount of a memorandum issued by the gallant
eaptaio, seriously reflecting oa the medical officers connected
wan the establishment, at the time the Choi, ra was raging in
the town. Dr. Rae asked for the withdrawal of the offensive
memorandum, and, on the ultimate refusal of the superin-
tendent to oonsp'y with this request, referred the matter to
the Admiralty, and himself demanded the Court of Inquiry.
It was after this that Captain Resoles preferred the charge,
which involved the accusation that Dr. Rae bad, In Wing
his nosological return to Sir Wm. Burnett, so doctored the
report, as to make himself out more successful in the treat-
meat of cholera cases than he really was. Captain Toup
Nicolas has for some time past been_ represented to be much
opposed to the appointment of Lord John Hay to the
Admiral superintendentship of the Devosport Dockyard,
Lord John being his junior, and this and the decision above
alluded to has led to his resignation of the superintendent-
ship of the hospital and victualling yard, a post which is to
be taken by Captain Rich.
