NATIONAL INSURANCE ACT AND THE VOLUNTARY HOSPITAL SYSTEM.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]
Sin,—Sir Henry Burdett states in the Spectator of December 16th that, judging from my letter (written on December 5th, published on December 9th), I had not seen " the amendments to the Insurance Bill as it exists to- day " (December 16th) I The point needs no emphasis on my part, and, further, I fail to see why I should be blamed because the clauses of the Bill were renumbered after my letter had been written. If Sir Henry says that the words I quoted, "or such other diseases as the Local Government Board with Vie approval of the Treasury may appoint," are pur- poseless and meaningless, I must leave time to show, but I should much have preferred him to deal with my main contentions than that he should have ridden off on yet another horse.—I am, Sir, &c., H. W. BUIILEIGH.
