To the Council of the County Borough of Brighton. The Visiting Committee beg to submit their Report for the past year. It is with deep regret that the Committee record the loss they have sustained through the deaths of their esteemed colleagues Alderman Edward Martin and Councillors Lynn and Whittome. It is worthy of notice that Alderman Martin was one of the first representatives appointed by the Council, in October, 1889, under the powers conferred on them by the Local Government Act, 1888, on the Visiting Committee of the Sussex County Asylum, and he continued to act in that capacity down to the year 1903, when the Asylum came under the sole control of Brighton; afterwards serving as a member of this Committee until the time of his death. Councillors Lynn and Whittome had been members of the Committee since February, 1904.
