Experiences of a civilian in eastern military hospitals
Peter Pincoffs - 1857 - (page 14)

‘The old English hospital behind the Embassy was certainly the worst of all civil hospitals, a new one has lately been built on the high part of Galata which is said to be extremely good and likely, under the able management of Dr. Hoyland by whom many improvements have been suggested, to become one of the best Establishments of its kind.’

Foreign Intelligence

The news from the Principalities is rather more satisfactory than it was some time ago.
The present Turkish government seems to have understood the folly of violently suppressing the expression of public opinion on the union, and has adopted a milder course in its policy. The Austrian army of occupation is likewise reported to behave much better. Except a few cases of excess, which after all, are inseparable from any army of occupation, no complaints are heard from the inhabitants.
In the course of last winter I had to speak of the British Consular Hospital in this place as one of the dirtiest and most inefficient establishments of its kind. I am happy to state that it has become now one of the cleanest and best regulated hospitals which could be found anywhere.
From the dreary old house behind the Embassy, shut in by even more wretched houses, it has been transferred to a new building in Galata, erected on purpose for it. The new hospital, built of stone, is without any pretentions to architecture, but is solid and simple. It is entirely separated from all surrounding houses, and enclosed by a wall, within the precincts of which are likewise the consular prison and the ground destined for the new consular offices. The interior of the building leaves nothing to be desired. The wards are high and airy, with plenty of light, and a beautiful view over the Golden Horn. Hot-air tubes pass all over the house, establishing an equal temperature and promoting the ventilation of the place. As all the wards are in the upper storeys, an apparatus has been sent out from England to hoist up the patients, which, especially in cases of fractures, is very convenient, as the patients can be dressed below, and are thus spared the pain that would otherwise attend their transport upstairs. The apparatus serves likewise for sending up the meals of the patients from the kitchen below, a convenience which serves also to preserve the cleanliness of the passages.
As for the interior arrangements, Dr. HOYLAND, under whose charge the hospital is, as well as the prison, deserves great credit. Even an eye rendered rather fastidious by the Scutari hospitals in their latter days would find nothing to criticise. The patient is surrounded by every comfort. In the furniture all the latest improvements have been adopted, some of them at Dr. HOYLAND’s suggestion. Part of it was sent out by the Board of Works, but not a little is due to Miss NIGHTINGALE, who, in spite of the manifold claims to her exertions, did not overlook the seamen’s hospital, and procured whatever she could for its outfit. The hospital attendants are now nearly all English, and among them is one of the nurses from Scutari. This, besides adding to the comfort of the patients, makes likewise the great cleanliness possible for which the hospital is remarkable. This cleanliness is not confined to the wards, but extends all over the house, down to the pantry and kitchen. Every ward is supplied with books and a game of draughts. The only things wanted as yet are a separate dead-house, and a bath-room, for both of which purposes one of the apartments of the hospital is used at present. It is intended to buy a contiguous piece of ground in the rear of the hospital for these buildings. Since the close of war the number of patients has been considerably reduced, and at the present moment it does not amount to more than 20.
If great improvements have been made since the beginning of this year in the Consular Hospital, they are nothing in comparison to the changes that have taken place since that time in the consular prison. Indeed, the prisoners who have remained from that time must feel like men transported from one of the worst dungeons of the dark middle ages to a gentle house of correction, managed with the philanthropic spirit of the 19th century. Not more than a year ago they were thrown together in one of the Turkish prisons of Kassim Pasha, uncared for, eaten up by vermin, and treated more like dangerous wild beasts than human beings. It was some improvement when they were taken from these and shut up in a hulk which the Turkish Government had put at the disposal of the Consulate for that purpose; but even if they were not much better off, for, except that they were thus separated from the worst outcasts, assassins, and highway robbers of the Ottoman empire, and were no longer brutally treated, they remained in the same state of filth and hopeless degradation, so that a man that entered the hulk for a comparatively small offence was almost sure to come out a consummate ruffian.
The new prison, a strong building of two stories high, is subdivided into good sized and high wards, all vaulted, and containing, usually, six prisoners. One of the wards is appropriated to hospital purposes. The wards are flagged and contain nothing but beds and working implements of the prisoners. The prison is in charge of a special gaoler, his assistant, and a Turkish kavass, while all the sanitary arrangements are under the inspection of Dr. HOYLAND, who has been just as successful in keeping the prison clean as the hospital. Indeed, if anything can be objected to the new prison, it is that there are no means of punishing any offence against discipline, or even carrying out the heavy sentences of the law. Several of the prisoners are condemned to hard labour, but hitherto no means have been found to give them any kind of labour, so that each conclave is left to its own reflections all day long. Dr. HOYLAND proposes to get up a small treadmill, for the prisoners to grind their own corn, and then to employ them on matting or other kinds of occupation. But hitherto nothing has been done in this respect. Then there are no cells, which, since flogging has been given up, would be the most efficient means of breaking in unruly spirits. The number of prisoners at this moment is 40.
While speaking of the Government establishments for curing the physical and morale diseases of sailors and other British subjects in Constantinople, I must draw your attention to an analogous subject, which excited lately public attention. Repeatedly English sailors without a ship, discharged officer’s servants, and others who remained behind after the war, have been brought into the Consular Hospital, dying from cold and starvation, Any enquiry into the subject showed that there were about 50 or 60 such persons, without work or any other means of subsistence, hanging about the town, sleeping in the pontoons of the bridge or anywhere else, and trying to live by all kinds of devices, fair or foul. No doubt there may be more than one of them who is an incorrigible vagabond and “loafer”, but there are certainly many who by the close of the war found themselves without work and means of subsistance, and who would be glad to get out of the precarious state of existence they are leading.
Dr. HOYLAND, whose attention the subject first excited, having questioned the men who were brought in starved, proposes to get up a house of refuge, in which the men could remain during a night, and get their soup in the morning. A list of subscriptions has been opened for this purpose, which yields already £160 sterling. Besides this, what is even more important, several Englishmen in business have offered to employ those who are sent to them with a recommendation from Dr. HOYLAND. Thus, by degrees, the men could be got rid of. Those who should prove themselves inveterate vagabonds could be sent away by the Consul, and the place thus cleared from what, in the eyes of the Turks, and everybody else, must be a disgrace to the English name.

The Journal of mental science - 1858 (page 450)

‘We may take for example the hospital for sailors at Constantinople, which was formerly under the direction of the physician to the embassy; the consequence was that the duties were very much neglected, because his avocation called him constantly from the hospital to Therapia, Scutari, Büyükdere, Stamboul, etc., he was necessarily obliged to leave his patients to anyone he could find willing to attend the sick in the hospital; whereas lately the hospital has been placed entirely under the direction of a resident surgeon (with a proper remuneration) Mr. Hoyland, and there can be no doubt that its management is satisfactory. We can say from a recent visit to it, we found the condition of the wards very creditable to the medical authority, under which they are placed.’

TURKEY - (From our own correspondent) Jan 24

The guardians of the Scutari Cemetery, who were so brutally assaulted by Turkish soldiers last week, are still lying in hospital suffering severely from their wounds. Sergeant Lyne, besides other injuries, received a very deep cut in the head, but I am assured by Dr. HOYLAND, who attends him, that there is little ground for anticipating more serious consequences. One of the two Croats was still more roughly handled; and from the accounts given of the conduct of the soldiers who were engaged in the onslaught, and of their comrades who were calling out to them to put an end to the Giaours, it seems very fortunate that the three men were not murdered.

The following relates to the Railway Liabilities of Turkey:-
June 6
Sir, - We have noticed in your impression of yesterday a letter of Mr. A J King concerning the Ottoman (Smyrna and Aidin) and Varna railways. It may be interesting to your readers to know that the Turkish Government is now a debtor to the former unfortunate company to the amount of 256,593 11s 8d to the 31st December last. For rather less than half this sum mandates have been received, and when due not paid. The amount due for the Varna Railway Company to the 31st December is 256,593 2s 6d.
The above facts, no doubt, will be useful to intending investors in the projected Turkish loan.
We are sir, your obedient servants

The following is from the committee of the Turkish Bondholders of the loan of 1862:-
The committee of the Turkish Bondholders 1862 have received advices from Constantinople from Mr. L. Walter Courtenay, that on the 30th ult., the chief dragoman, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Ambassador, presented to his Highness Anli Pasha, Grand Vizier, Mr. C.S. Hanson, Mr. FREDERICK HEALD and Mr. Courtenay, the English members for the syndicate for the loan. Mr. Hanson stated to his Highness the object of their mission, and wound up by saying “that had this mission been in the remotest degree hostile to the interests of the Government he would never have allowed his name to appear as a member of the Syndicate. His Highness replied that it was always the desire of the Imperial Ottoman Government strictly to fulfil its engagements, and that he trusted matters would proceed satisfactorily, and that we should meet with no difficulties on the part of the Minister of Finance, to whom he would speak, and that he would arrange a meeting, if possible, for Saturday”.

Harold Hoyland, whose death was announced in the TIMES on Tuesday will be mourned by a large number of friends throughout the Middle East and Tangier. Although he spent over 40 years in the Consular Service.
He was an ideal Consular Officer, devoted to his work which he carried out with remarkable efficiency. He was respected and admired by the officials and natives of the many countries in which he served and was beloved by the British communities whether large or small. He was a keen sportsman and a collector of discrimination. But above all he was an exceptionally fine linguist. He knew over a dozen languages and any number of dialects, though in regards to his accomplishment, he was equaled by several of his colleagues in what was known as the Levant Consular Service, that collection of brilliant and distinguished experts who will mourn his loss.

HEAVY FAILURES
The Daily Gazette (Middlesbrough, England), Monday, July 19, 1875; pg. 3; Issue 2317
Messrs Joseph Heald of Newcastle, one of the best known and oldest established firms of merchants and ship brokers in Newcastle, have suspended payments. It is said that the principal cause of this is the stoppage of Messrs Lambert Brothers and Scott, ship owners, colliery owners &c., of London, whose failure, with liabilities estimated at about £300,000, was announced in Newcastle on Thursday last, Messrs Heald and Co. being creditors to the extent of £20,000. Messrs Heald and Co. carried on a very extensive business not only in Newcastle, but in London and on the continent. The liabilities have not yet been authoritatively stated; but on the Exchange on Saturday there were various estimates of their amount made, some putting then at £40,000, and others as high as £60,000.

They had the following children:

1. Frederick Heald, (Joseph) was born in 1834 in Saint Andrew. Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland. He died on 28 Jul 1884 in Kadikeui, Turkey.
Frederick married Edith Hoyland, daughter of Charles William Hoyland F.R.C.S. and Emily Priscilla Lewis on 29 Apr 1867 in British Embassy Chapel, Pera, Constantinople.

Hunt’s Yachting Magazine
CONSTANTINOPLE ASSOCIATION OF PILOTS - 1862 (page 185)
Turning over the leaves of the only English Magazine** published in the Turkish capital, our attention was caught by an article on Naval Reform, from which we find that Mr. William Knight, who our readers will remember as Rear Commodore of the Royal Harwich Yatch Club, and also editor of this work at its commencement has been indefatigable in establishing the Association of Pilots at Constantinople, where he is practising as Barrister in H.B.M. Supreme Consular Court, consequently has had many opportunities of testing the pilots of the Black Sea and caused him to propose the founding of the Association. For three years Mr. Knight has had hard work in starting and keeping this praiseworthy reform of a very had (hard?) system before the eyes of the British Mercantile Marine and Consular Authorities. His efforts, however, now seem to be crowned with full success, since we, in London, happen to know, that in December, 1861, the Lords of the Admiralty having been made acquainted with certain resolutions passed in open meeting at Constantinople, immediately forwarded them for consideration to the Board of Trade. Therefore justice will now be done to those men, who are trained pilots, and the herd of imposters, that have too long usurped their privileges will be routed.
The following gentlemen have been elected as a Committee to carry out the principles of the Association:-
Chairman. Mr. Henry Lamb; Vice-Chairman. Mr. Wm. Kerr; Mrs T.H. Glover, F. HEALD, F. Miller, T. Russell, F. Teasdale, Swan, and H. Wright (** The Levant Quarterly Review).

The following relates to the Railway Liabilities of Turkey:-
June 6
Sir, - We have noticed in your impression of yesterday a letter of Mr. A J King concerning the Ottoman (Smyrna and Aidin) and Varna railways. It may be interesting to your readers to know that the Turkish Government is now a debtor to the former unfortunate company to the amount of 256,593 11s 8d to the 31st December last. For rather less than half this sum mandates have been received, and when due not paid. The amount due for the Varna Railway Company to the 31st December is 256,593 2s 6d.
The above facts, no doubt, will be useful to intending investors in the projected Turkish loan.
We are sir, your obedient servants

The following is from the committee of the Turkish Bondholders of the loan of 1862:-
The committee of the Turkish Bondholders 1862 have received advices from Constantinople from Mr. L. Walter Courtenay, that on the 30th ult., the chief dragoman, on behalf of Her Majesty’s Ambassador, presented to his Highness Anli Pasha, Grand Vizier, Mr. C.S. Hanson, Mr. FREDERICK HEALD and Mr. Courtenay, the English members for the syndicate for the loan. Mr. Hanson stated to his Highness the object of their mission, and wound up by saying “that had this mission been in the remotest degree hostile to the interests of the Government he would never have allowed his name to appear as a member of the Syndicate. His Highness replied that it was always the desire of the Imperial Ottoman Government strictly to fulfil its engagements, and that he trusted matters would proceed satisfactorily, and that we should meet with no difficulties on the part of the Minister of Finance, to whom he would speak, and that he would arrange a meeting, if possible, for Saturday”.
