Enclosure 3 in No. 4. Mr. T. Mabtist to the Agent-Genebal. Office of Commissioners in Lunacy, 19, Whitehall Place, S.W., Sic,— 9th September, 1875. I am directed, by the Commissioners in Lunacy, to inform you that their efforts to find a person whom they could recommend for appointment to the Inspectorship of Asylums in New Zealand have not been attended with success. The few persons who have sought the appointment through the Commissioners have been gentlemen of too limited experience in insanity; and it is clear to this Board that fit and proper persons for the office could only be tempted to leave this country and accept the post by much higher offers of remuneration. The Commissioners are of opinion that the Inspectorship should be made worth the acceptance of a gentleman from the class of Medical Superintendents of county or borough asylums. It will now only attract the notice of Assistant Medical Officers, little qualified for the duties of such aa Inspectorship. An advertisement in the medical journals might be useful. I am, &c, Thos. Maetdc, Dr. Featherston. (for the Secretary).
