The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1885. THE RAILWAY TIME-TABLE.

The question of altering the railway time-table so that visitors from Weir lington who wish to return the same day may have more time allowed them in the Wairarapa, has assumed a new pllßse. In ouv yesterday's issue we published n telegram from the United Press Association, informing us that a deputation introduced by M> W. 0, Buchanan, M.H.K., had waited upon the Hon. the Minister of Public Works, and urged him not to grant the request, and that Mr Richardson had replied to the effect that no request of the kind had ever been nride to him, and that he should certainly make no alteration in the present arrangements unless the residents in the district desired it There is something yeiy mysterious about all this. Who formed the /imitation, and when and how was it appointed 1 The publiu appears to have been kept in entire ignorance of what was going on, though the deputation ostensibly represented the public. It is certain that the usual course in such cases has not been pursued, Therehas been no public wasting to consider the question, and none of fchfi local bodies have taken action upon it, so that the members of the deputation represented nobody but themselves, though, apparently, they informed the Minietei- that they represented the Wairarapa. How Mr Buchanan could put himself in such a false position by introducing them, is another point that surprises us. Mr Richardson may or may not have known the origin of the deputation. If he did, he no doubt had a bit of quiet fun with them when he told them that no proposal had been before him asking for an alteration. We fail to see any other way of explaining his answer, because, unless his memory is exceedingly bad, orMr Majto&l, the General Manager, took upon himself to use his name without authority, he would have remembered that a properly constituted deputation had waited upon the latter gentleman and made a request for an alteration, and that an answer was received •'by instruction of tho Minister," etc. The proceedings in connection with the last deputation appear farcical from beginning to end, and we doubt whether any amount of explanation could make it appear in any better light, ■

A hospital scandal had, according to the Evening Press, been brought to light by Dr. Nedwill of Christc'iurch, who has among other things communicated to the Government full particulars of a case in which a patient suffering from hernia was operated, upon quite improperly, and under a complete, misunderstanding of the nature of bis, maladj, ff jtl) fatal results, Such was (jje 'jngQpjpetencfi and criminal negligence shown in this case, that the iiutortunata victim was first subjected'to untold tortures, mangled frightfully, through sheer ignoranoe of anatomy, and then removed from the operating table without any of the necessary processes having been applied fo>' .'Ay&thig the worst consequences of all thj violence and butchery. Dr Nedwill alleges'sas tiie person who thus tormented and killed t|)js u'nhappy inmate of the Qhrisfcchurch Hospital was warned by himsolf and others of the awful risks he was running, but declined to submit to advice, lost his head, and ended in a mere reckless endeavor to conceal the results of his bad work. It is affirmed, apparently without contradiction, t])at the enquiry which should have taken place HJifjov the authority of the Hospital Board, was worge than perfunctory; that, in short, partly from fear, and partly from favor, the Hospital Board virtually burked all enquiry, The same man who had caused the death of the patient was allowed to perform, or to peteijjl to perform, the post mortmi examination, and hjs cerMojte. pf the cause of death', though, manjfesjtiy untrue, was accepted as sufficient, Thecertifjcate was to the. effect that tlm patient had died from hfff malady; whereas there could be no doubt whatsoever that he bled to death through an stupid blunder in tlw operation/ Jt is further alleged that at the enquiry the grossest false swearing was resorted to, admittedly for the purpose of shielding the real culprit from the consequences of his conduct, and that all the efforts of Dr Nedwill and others who wished to see right done were unavailing, Other cases as bad as this, or worso, are also reported by Dr Nedwill with equal candour and particularity.
