    knowledge of the contents of the Report, nor that it contained anything that, if accepted by the Meeting, would necessitate the resignation of my colleagues. I also state, in respect of the second of Mr. Adams’ charges, that I was not cognisant of or privy to the creation of a single new Governor, which Mr. Adams calls the “ fabrication of votes ” for the purpose of supporting that Report, or of opposing Lord Abinger’s motion at the Meeting held in April, nor did I in any way, or at any time, attempt to influence the vote of any one of the Governors, new or old, who were present at that Meeting. When you first did me the honour to call my attention to Mr. Adams’ letter, I intended to have requested your judgment on various points connected with Messrs. Adams and Tamplin’s conduct towards me as a colleague during my connection with the Orthopaedic Hospital; but on further reflexion I have decided that these questions would be painful to the Council, and fruitless to the Medical profession. I have, therefore, confined myself simply to refuting the charges which have been untruly and without foundation brought against me, and I confidently await your judgment respecting them, being satisfied that you will find that they are entirely unsupported by the facts of the case. I am, Mr. President and Gentlemen, Yours faithfully, B. E. Brodhurst. To the President and Council of the Metropolitan Counties Branch of the Medical Association.
