AN ELECTION ADDRESS.
The election address contained the following statement:-
“Within the last month the scandalous treatment of sick children in our infirmary (till now unsuspected) has been brought to my knowledge, upon which I took prompt action, and the following notice of motion stands in my name:- ‘That this board hereby records it’s entire disapproval of the practice of flogging child patients in the infirmary: also the exclusion of parents on visiting days, and directs that the whole matter be at once laid before the Local Government Board.’ This will be considered at the first meeting of the new board, and I confidently depend on you to send me there to carry it, in defiance of those who desire to ‘hush up’ the scandal.”
