THE HOLDING OF PUBLIC MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.

To the Editors of THE LANCET.

SIRS,-I shall be thankful if any of your readers would kindly referme to the case in which a person who was supposed to be legallyqualified to hold a certain public medical appointment was in goodfaith " appointed" to hold it, and after some little time, and when ithad been discovered that he was not legally qualified to hold theappointment, some other person, who was legally qualified to hold thesame, applied formally to the appointing authority for the "vacant"post, and explained and proved to them the facts of the case. I shouldbe glad to have an opinion as to whether, in any abstract similarcase, and apart from the one referred to, (1) a qualified person wouldor would not be guilty, under such circumstances, of unprofessionalconduct in so acting ; (2) whether a professional society to which bothparties belonged would be justified in expelling the second-namedperson for having made the application ; and (3) whether the appointingauthority would be acting properly in allowing the first-mentionedperson to retain the appointment until he had legally qualified himself?

I am, Sirs, faithfully yours,November, 1891. QUALIFIED.
