ST. HELENS HOME
INQUIRY ADJOURNED FOR A
WEEK.
Press Association,
AUCKLAND, January 28.
When the St. Helens Home inquiry resumed to-day Air Alays, who appear ed for the officials of the home, applied for a week’s adjournment on the ground that he had to undertake some important Government business which could not be disposed of in any other way. The Commissioner remarked that it was a pity to delay the conclusion of the sitting, which was already some distance ahead, but if Air Mays’s absence was unavoidable he would have to grant an adjournment. It would be necessary, however, to wire to Wellington for an extension of time to the middle of February. Captain E. J. Thomas, secretary ol the District Hospital, was called, and produced the chart of Airs Porch’s case which was forwarded with the patient when the latter was transfer'red from St. Helens Home.
The matron, Miss Ludwig, recalled, said that the two charts (produced) were copies of Mrs Porch’s original chart, which had been destroyed. H was a common practice in hospitals to make copies of untidy charts for record purposes and then to destroy the originals. The inquiry was then adjourned for a week.
