Have sou had any eaWatthflhatilketi blow iff
considerable mortality pmailing ales
who were upon that Expedition, 'wl last two
or three weeks ?—None whatevei. - -
When you knew what the destination of theiripedl-
tion was,namely,that it was gone to the island-OfWal-
cheren, did you then make any alieration in your medi-
cal arrangement, or make any representation upoathe
subject ?—None ; as it was represented to us as only
an Expedition for a few weeks, but that not officially.
Did you consider the medical arrangement ade-
quate to an Expedition to Walcheren of a few weeks?
—Walcheren being so near this country, it was not ne-
cessary to send out a later establishment than was
sent out.
Did you not conceive that the medical principle tole -
acted upon was the removal of the sick to the hospi-
tals to be prepared in this country, rather than the
accumulation of them in hospitals in Walcheren?
No doubt, that was the best measure to have pursued,
to have removed the sick to this country from Wal-
cheren.
If there had been a mortality of the Guards em-
ployed on the Expedition to Walcheren, is it neces-
sary that such reports should reach you ?—No reports
from the Guards are ever made to our department.
You stated, that in consequence of the information
you had received, you did not make any representa-
tion to Government :--from whom was that informa-
tion derived ?—I do not know ; as it was not official,
we have no document to refer to.

Upon so material a point, why did you act upon so
loose information as that appears to have- been
We did not act upon that loose information.
Why did you omit to act—why did you omit •to
make any representation to Government I—Because
it is not out practice to originate any thing with us,'
but to obey the commands we receive ; we are not
Councillors.
As Physician-General to the Forces, after the id.
counts arrived of the increasing sickness in the Island.
of Walcheren, you were not consulted by Govt.:Totem
as to the fit remedies to be applied, or what DIMS]
should be taken to obviate the increasing disorder ?-
IFrom the 10th of September every exertion was
made by Government that could possibly be made:to
accommodate and' relieve ,the seek -at Walcheren,
and those that returned to this country; both by,
communication with the Army Medical Board, and
in every way.
Then the Committee is to understand, the first in-
struction given by •Government was subsequent to
the 9th September ?—lt was upon the 10th, front the
10th to the 16th September that the first great sick-
ness appeared.
No information reached you, that on the 17th of
August 3,000 sick were found in Lord Chathatn's
army ?—I believe that there is no document-lit the
office to say, there was any cornmuniatimi prior to
the 10th of September ; but I cannot answer that
without examining the office-books.
There was no communication made to you previ-
ous to the 10th of September ?—Not to me personally;
the first I heard of it was the 10th of September,
when I was ordered to Harwich.

You have stated, that the better chance of reco-
vering the sick was by removing them from the Island'
of Walcheren ; were you afterwards consulted by
Lord Castlereagh, when he directed an inquiry to be
mad on a suggestion understood to have been made
by Monnet, the French General, to the French Go-
vernment, that nothing could be so injurious to the
health of the sick as the removal of them from the
Island of Walcheren did not know that there
had been such a representation from Moms&
You having given your opinion to Lord Castle-
reagh, that the patients should be removed from the
Island of Walcheren, are you aware that a letter was
written by his Lordship to Sir Eyre Coote, contain-
ing this passage, u It has been stated, that in a re-
presentation made by General Monnet to his Go.
vernment, he had recommended that the of
Walcheren should be very seldom clean , and that
the sick should never be removed to another place
with a view to recovery, it being. found by experi-
ence, that a greater number of the sick who were kept
in the Island recovered there, than of those who were,
with a view to their recovery, removed. I wish you
to communicate this circumstance to Doctor Blanc;

in order that the truth of k may be ascertained e' visa
that ever communicated by Lord Castlereagh' to yon)
—The only way I can answer.that question is, that
had no communication with Lord Castlereagh upon
the subject, but that if Monnet's opinion had been
submitted to me,- I should have differed with hiCa,
entirely.
At the end of how long a period of time, after the
return of the soldiers from Walcheren in apparent
good health, has there ever been an instance of the
symptom of the Walcheren fever displaying itself
From ten to twenty-one days.
No longer period has ever elapsed have never
known it longer.
You have been asked, why you did-not propose4fi
awmentation in the Medical Establishment; was not
your knowledge of the certainty of removal of the
sick to hospitals in England a sufficient reason for not
augmenting the Medical Establishment in Wakhe-
ren ?—Undoubtedly ; because the Inspector at that
time declared, he did not want more asiistance of the
higher class.
"Do you consider, that men once of with a
remittent fever, are more liable than any other men
to have that disorder again ?—Undoubtedly, for a
certain length of time.
What length of time ?—The following spring, or
even the following autumn.
