BANKERS' RETURNS. —A supplement to the London
Gazette was published last evening, containing a copy of
the bankers' returns made to the Inland Revenue-office in
puisuance of Act of Parliament. The return comprises
the name, residence, and occupation of tlw shareholders of
he various joint-stock banks.

Dr. Markham, one of the inspectors under the Poi
law Board, has held -a protracted investigation at the
Poplar Workhouse, relative to a charge of neglect pre'
ferred against Dr. Henry Stanley Gale, one of the
medical officers of that district. It appeared that on
Wednesday, January 15, a painter, named George Liddle,
got an order from the relieving officer of Poplar for
medical attendance on his wife, Caroline Liddle, who
had then been ill for two days. The man took the
order to Dr. Gale's surgery, and that gentleman's
assistant, Mr. Charles Stocker, 18 years of age, went
to see Mrs. Liddle, and prescribed for her. No ono
attended the woman again till the following Saturday,
when another assistant, also unqualified, but 23 years of
age, saw her and prescribed for her. On the following
Tuesday the woman died, Dr. Gale not having seen her at
all. Mr. Stocker had treated the deceased for dyspepsia,
and Mr. Moore, the other assistant, treated 'her for bile.
An inquest was held, and Dr. J. Edmunds proved that
the real malady was strangulated hernia, and that an
operation would have saved the woman's life. Evidence
in support of the above facts having been given, Dr.
Bain deposed that Dr. Gale's district was so large that
it was impossible for him to do all the work himself. Since
Dr. Gale had been suspended witness had the district to
manage, and he found the number of cases so largo that
he had to employ four assistants. Dr. H. Stanley Gale
deposed that he did not visit the deceased woman, for
after his assistants' reports he did not consider it an
urgent case. If any one had told him that the deceased
WAS very ill, he would not have refused to attend. A
Mrs. Puttick called, but he did not see her. He
understood from Mr. Moore that she had called
about medicine. In reply to questions, Dr. Gale stated
that he had 400 cases a day to attend to, and that
he saw 20 per cent. of them himself. The deceased died
from hernia and peritonitis. His salary was £lO5 a year ;
but with the " extras " he received £385 last year, and
£84125. for an assistant. He had to find the medicine for
his patients, but the guardians provided cod-liver oil and
quinine. The commissioner said it was desirable that the
public should know that such allowances were made in
addition to Dr. Gale's salary. The inquiry was then
declared closed, the commissioner stating that the result
would be made known in the usual way.
