    GENERAL REGULATIONS. 1. The first Quarter’s Board shall be paid previous to admission, and thereafter at the beginning of the regular quarterly terms of 1st January, 1st April, 1st July, and 1st October. 2. No part of the Board, for the first Quarter, of Patients at and above the rate of Fifteen Shillings per week, shall be returned, except in the event of death before the expiry of that period, in which case the Directors may allow a return of such proportion as they consider reasonable. 3. When any Patient is dismissed or dies during the currency of any succeeding Quarter, the Weekly Committee shall have power to determine, on an application being made to them for that purpose, whether any or what portion of the Board advanced shall be refunded. 4. Patients have no claim for remuneration for their labour. 5. Every Patient must be provided with proper Apparel. An ac- curate List of every Article brought with the Patient must, on ad¬ mission, be delivered to the Steward or principal Attendant, or to the Superintendent of Ladies and Matron, according to the House in which the Patient is placed; and the Name must be fully marked on each article. If any necessary part of Dress should not be duly supplied, after eight days’ intimation has been given that it is wanted, it will be furnished by the House, and the cost of it charged against the Patient. On applying to the Physician, the Patient will be carefully and ex¬ peditiously conveyed to the Asylum, the necessary expenses being paid to the Steward by the Applicant. Patients in the West House may be visited every lawful day between 10 and 12 o’clock; those in the East House, who are not Paupers, on Mondays, between the same Hours; and Patients who are Paupers, on Saturdays, also from 10 till 12 o’clock. Only those who are duly authorised can be permitted to visit Patients.
