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?
