The Devonport Board of Guardians consider that the sum of one guinea is too large a fee for medical men to be paid in pauper lunacy cases and recently approached the borough magistrates with a view to having the fee reduced. At the meeting of the guardians held on Oct. 12th it was reported that the magistrates did not share the opinion of the guardians. Eventually the board decided to write to the members of the medical profession in Devonport asking them if they would accept a fee of half a guinea for these cases, and the matter will be again brought before the magistrates.
