Nothing can be a higher proof of our confidence in the im- partiality and candour of that body, than the freedom with which we de- liver our fentiments of the condua of one of its members.

We profefs our inten- ^‘ -tion to pay exaa obedience to the regulations of the Royal Infirmary. We beg leave, finally, to declare our entire approbation of the condua oF .and ourrefolution to fuffer with him.’^ (Signed) Raines MackintoJIo* Richard Millar^ John Hajlam* Henry Luxmore*.
