Q. Were there any marks of injury at all upon the person of Hill A. I don't remember as there were. Q. Have you standing orders that you give the attendants in reference to the employment of help enough to subdue a violent patient with ease A. Yes sir. The order is that they shall employ all the help they can call at their command when they are going to move a patient, if they are within reach. They are some times attacked by a patient and the help is not at hand, and they have an up and down scuffle before any body can get to them Q. Do cases occur some times where it is indispensable that the attendant take the patient to the lodge before he can have time to report to the superintendent or consult him about it A. Quite common. Q. Do you ^ [ added ] intend any rule of the hospital to excluding attendants from taking a patient who is seized with a sudden attack of violence, to the lodge, without stopping first to come and consult with superintendent?
