    The Farm. Pensions. Conclusion. The Farm has continued to improve under the management of Russell Ford, the bailiff last appointed, and its accounts when finally made up will, it is anticipated, compare favourably with those of last year. The Committee report that Edward Boniface, to whom a pension of 12s. a week was granted by the Court, in 1878, died on the 17th of September last. A Superannuation Allowance of 14s. a week, which after full consideration by the Committee was strongly recommended by them, was granted by the Court to Aaron Welfare, a stoker, who after 16 years of steady and useful service in the County Asylum had become wholly incapacitated by organic disease affecting his life. During the past year no change has occurred in the principal officers of the Asylum. Dr. Williams con¬ tinues to discharge his duties, as Medical Superintendent, in the same able and efficient manner, and the conduct of the other officers, and of the staff, has been highly satisfactory to the Committee. Haywards Heath, JAMES H. SCLATER, Chairman. 31st December, 1880.
