Mr. Frauois Puii in, one of the siiiferor.s by the lat': fatal u< ach accident at the Horse Hang-;, proceeded to Dunclin to-day by tho 3.5. Waitaki. Although apparently in gomj health ami exceli-.-nfc spirits, he was unable to walk, and had to be carrleil into thtrain and on board the steamer. It seems probable that it will be some time before he is able to use his leg, which was severely injured. The Oamaru ifc.il Committee have decided not to tak<> any action with rogurd to the receipt of patients from Pal'ncrsEon. Last evening a letter which had been received by the Municipal Council from the cfav.'-.' of the I'ahnerston liorough Council, asking whether, and on what terms patients would be received from that township, was considered. It was pointed sut thnt the accommodation provided by the Hospital was scarcely sutiicici:t for the demands made upon it by cases arising iu this town and country, and that it was not therefore advisable to throw open the institution to other Counties, as if patients from out°ide the district were admitted larger pdditinns would have to be made to the building than those contemplated, or its usefulness would be greatly curtailed. On these grounds it was deemed, best to decline to entertain the proposal.
