TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The extraordinary statements lately put forth in
pamphlets, and in paragraphs in the papers, by Mr. Petti-
grew and Dr. Sigmond, render it incumbent on the Com-
mittee to make known the nature of the late inquiry, and
they therefore direct me to transmit to you their Report,
and Decision, unanimously dispensing with the services of
these two gentlemen.
By this Report you will observe that the Committee
were appointed by the General Board on the Ist of August,
with plenary power, and that they had seven meetings, at
five of which the gentlemen in question were present.
The meetings occupied from four to five hours each, and
after a patient and painful investigation they came to the
decision which I now send you.
With respect to the charges broUght against the arrange-
ments of the hospital, the best refutation they consider is
an invitation to any one to come and judge for themselves,
every department being at all times open for inspection.
I beg to:state that the chief parts of the statements made
by the above individuals were brought before the Com-
mittee, and were either DISTINCTLY DISPROVED, or SATIS-
FACTORILY EXPLAINED, and were pronounced by the
Committee to be frivolous, and not founded on facts ; and
therefore, in again bringing them forward, Mr. Pettigrew
and Dr. Sigmond, to use the mildest language, acted in a
very disingenuous and uncandid manner. _

I cainot eonclude without observing, that none of their
grave causes of complaint were ever heard of by the Com-
mittee of Management, or by any of the officers, who had
the power of correcting them (had they really existed),
until they were brought before the Special Committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the other transactions, and it is
therefore evident that Mr. Pettigrew and Dr. Sig,mond
must be incorrect in stating that the conduct of the former,
in the pecuniary transaction, would never have been ques-
tioned, had they not made the complaints above alluded to.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your very obedient Servant,
JOHN ROBERTSON, Hon. Sec.
Charing Cross Hospital, Oct., 1836.
