MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS.
In accordance with the Standing Order of the Court that no person shall
enter the employ of the Corporation or any of its Committees without previously
passing a medical examination to the satisfaction of the Committee having cognizance
of the appointment, 99 persons were examined by the Medical Officer of
Health during 1924. Four of these persons were reported as physically unfit for
office, and the decision with regard to two others was adjourned for six months,
when they will be again examined. Twelve officers were also medically examined
with a view to their retirement, and all were reported to be unfit for duty.
