Young. He was educated at the Royal Academical Institution and Queen's College, Belfast, and qualified for his profession at the Royal College of Surgeons, Dublin. He commenced practice in County Down in 1878, but left his native land in June, 1879, in the ship “Calypso” (afterwards lost) for New Zealand. In February, 1880, Dr. Young was appointed medical superintendent of the Wallace and Fiord Hospital, Riverton, and retained that post until 1885, when he moved to the Auckland Asylum in a similar capacity, his brother, Dr. Alexander Young, having preceded him at that institution. Dr. Young soon after resigned in consequence of the General Government refusing to vote the necessary funds to put the institution in proper working order—the condition on which he had accepted the appointment—the accommodation being inadequate to meet the increasing number of patients. His resignation was persisted in against the wishes of the head of the department, and Dr. Young then settled in Invercargill, in 1887, where he continues the practice of his profession.
