THE MANSLAUGHTER CASE.
To the Editor. Sir, —The case of the unfortunate man John Briggs, who died in the Hospital from injury to the head, I think call sfor some remarks. In the report of the evidence taken before the Magistrate, as reported in last night’s Star, we read—“ Dr Yates had made a post mortem examination on Saturday last: a small piece of bone bad been forced on to the brain, and this witness believed bad Toeen tKe cause of death.” We are not informed whether any attempt was made to remove the said piece of bone, which to anyone of common sense would have been the natural course to have pursued, and which would in all probability have saved jibe man’s life. Perhaps Dr Yates will have the kindness, for the credit of the Hospital, by some further information to remove from the public mind the impression that all was not d‘>ne which might have been, to save the patient.—l am, &c., Inquiry.
