Letter from Dr. Jenkins.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sik,— Wy criticism of the Lunatic Asylum report will be as concise as the gravity of | the sul ject will admit.“ I have no wish, as I said before, to wound the feelings of any ;one; yet, as | have taken up this matter, I shall speak freely and fearlessly to the | end
The initiatory paragraphs are merely ex- planatory, and require no notice. The first that calls for notice is as follows:—
“We are glad to report, as our unani- mous opinion fermed, we think we may fairly say,.after careful attention to the evidence and anxious consideration of it, that the Asylum is, on the whole, carefully and eflicien'ly managed, etc.” | This prologue, sir, should, I think, have ' been the epilogue of the farce. The | ‘unanimous opinion” should have been given at the conclusion of a summary of the evidence. to which, as yet, the public have not been treated. I will defer for the present the consideration of this para- ‘graph
The next commences thus: ‘‘Into the par ticn'ars of the Manson case it is unneces- | sary to enter,” &c.,&c. A stranger read- jing this woula naturally suppose the i Manson case”? was some trivial matter having no bearing on the subject of inves- tigation, So far from this being the case, |i is the subject, the sole cause and origin , of the public commotion which necessitated | the appointment of the Commission. Had | the Commissioners charazterized this case as the foulest outrage, the most cold blooded, unprovoked, inhuman attack ever committed by Asylum attendants on a | patient entrusted to their care, they wou'd j have insdequately described it ; yet these |Commiss:oners appointed for the purpose (of conducting an enquiry called for by this ‘Very outrage, with the most profound cool-| ness, piss it over without a single com- ‘ment. I leave your readers to muke their }own comment op this proceeding.
“he next paragraph refers to the criminal neglect of the unfortanate victim, and con-| tains a grave mistatement—one which alters the whole aspect of the case, having the! |resuit, intentional or not, of screening Dr, | ‘Blanchard from his inexcusable neglect, | and improperly relieving him from the res- | ponsibility of it; at the same time rendering | the report of the Commissioners, according | to their own showing, valueless.
They say, ‘‘a state of things which a stranger could see at a glance ought not to have escaped the notice of those whose. special duties it was to observe it, but, un-| fortunately at this time there was not the! usnal supervision. Dr. Bianchard, the day of the assauli, went away on lecve of absence for his marriage, had he been present as usual, and had the truth of the whole| affair remained unknown to him, the case would have assumed a much more serious aspect, but under the special circumstances, we do not think that neglect can be charged upon nim. (1 forgot to say all italics are nine, there is nothing in the report so em- | phatic as an italic) | Now, Sir, had the Commissioner given
‘careful attention to the evidence an} janxtous consideration of it” they must have ‘known that Dr Blanchard did wt leave the dav af the avsau.t. It was proved in Court that the assauit took place on Menday night; Dr. Blanchard left on Wednesday ; further, he had discovered and dressed the wound which McCloskey received in the conflict, and was very solicitous that Dr. Beer should attend carefully to him, but he had not times to discover his unhappy patient, the victim of this rudian’s brutality, beaten out ef the recognition of his intimete friends, he, poor fellow, wes uveeught and undirsovered ; there was no solicitude about him !
If, as the Commissioners say, Dr Planch- ard wax not to blame for the neglect be cvuse of his alleaed abserce, it follows that when it is preved he was not absent, he is cha galle with the neglect.
Is it not incomprehensible, sir, that men, a majo ‘‘y of them well known to be of high principle, should have endorsed a statement ('rought forward by some one for a purpos.), so utterly at variance witl)
he facts, and so vitally afiecting the ques- tien at issue.
' think, Mr Editor, I have already taken up too mach of your valuable space. I w!! defer fur her cousideration of the report for another ‘etter.
Yours truly, J. T. JENXINS.

VOL 10.---NO. 55.
Meeting at West Point. Pursuant to notice a meeting of the inhabitants of lots seven and eight was con- vened in the lot eight schoulhease on the 18:h ivst., for the purpose ef reminding our Dominion representatives of the neeossity of
a Break warerat West Point. Tie oeering
Was organized by appeinting John Au'd Chairman, and the undersigned Seeretery. A exander Stewart was the first to
address the meeting. He clearly showed that the increasing trade at West Point de- mended better harbor accommodation. Being so far remeved, (a distance of 14 miles) from a railway station, the facilities for shipping afforded those living near were unavailable to them.
He was followed by John Crawford, Angus Stewart, and others, who spoke of the injustice done to West Point by the present and late Dominion Gvernmen's, that while other places on the Island were favored with ralway accommodation, had received Jarge grants tron the Dowinion, the claims ef the 1:0 le here were overlooked, notwiths'an jing that petitions, time and sgain, had been sent to the De- par meat of Public Woks, praying for a grant to buil Breakwater, but resulted in nothing @re thau two Government surveys
bE. Hackett, M. P., being present, was next te address the merting. He said that he had brought the mattr before the notice of the Department of Public Works, and Mr. Beyd was sent downto make a survey and repert the probable cost. He had done se, and reported that it would take $70,000 to build a Breakwater at West Point. He well knew the diffi -ulcies under which the people labored. To be forced to hani their produce such a dis‘ance to a railway station at a season of the year when
the reads were generaily bed, was indeed ruinous to the farmers «f the place. He
wou'd endeavor this year to obtain a grant, hut as the claim to the improvement «f Albi rton Barbour wa: ah.ad of We st Point he woud net promise to secure anything tor West Point, until the grant for Alverten herbor was obtained.
James Yeo, M. P., then addressed the meeting. He spoke of the necessity of a Breakwater, and of the late Gover: ment having sent Mr Cunningham in the year 1877 to make a survey. He would ao all he could to have the work commenced at once He would support any party that would give a grant, and said that cur claim was tirst and would be arendrd to by him bef-re the improvement of Cascumpec Harbor.
The following resolution was moved by Alexander Stewart, and seconded by Ronald McDonald
Wh-reas, The necessity of a Breakwater at West Pint has long beea telt y the people of this place, and by fishermen a: d coasters from all parts of the Dominion seaboar, who resort to it asa harbor of refuve im storms, and vevitions pressing our claims have been submitted te the Department of Public W orks; and
Wher as, Itis the epinion of this meeting, which ts in part composed of several practi- va! men. living pear the place. that the «sti- mate made by Mr. Boyd is far in excess of am unt recuired,
Therefore Resolved, That this meeting strongly press cur Repres«ntatives to take action on p titions now lying in Department
of Puble Works, and endeavor to secure a snuin suificient to immediate. ‘'y con inence the work aad bring it to completion. Carried
Ubaulmousiy.
After the business in connection with the Bicakwater was dispensed with, Mr. Ha-kett (as it was the first opportunity he had of meeting the people since the last election) spoke on the action he had taken on the diferent political questions that caine up in Parliament since be became our representative. Hei viewed, at consider- able length. the terms upon which Briti-h Coluwbia entered the Confederation, the letting of the Pacific Railway contract to the Syedicate, the beneficial resuits of the Natioial Poliey, the present surplus, com- pared with Cartwrght’s d: ficits.
The perfect order which prevailed during the delivery of his long checrs with which he was greeted as he tevk his seat clearly showed that the ; taj rity of the meeting heartily approved of ais ; Olirical acts,
He was followed by James Yeo, Esq . M. P , whe condemre the has y manner tu which the bergam was with the Siudicate. That Mr. M. Kenzie only in- evded to build the rond as far as the Rocky Mountains, and only as the resources of the country would adwis He also em-

E Hackett, Exq., M. P., again srose, and clearly convinced all present that My. McKenzie did intend to build the road to B.iush Columbia, as he went to the enor-
vus expense «f sending steel rails wound Cipe Horn to Vancouver’s Is and; and that he was willing to close with capitalyts at anv time, on terms similar,only mere favor- able to contractor than the present Govern- ment have with the Syndicate.
