    Such uniformity is established to a great degree by authority of the Poor Law Commissioners throughout the Unions in the Country. Your Committee, by the adoption of a system of Accounts found¬ ed upon the Poor Law Forms,' and by their provision of a periodical audit have accomplished all that is in the power of a single Asylum to do. In conclusion, your Committee subjoin, in Appendix No. 4, an Abstract of the Account of the Receipts and Payments of the County Treasurer in respect of the principal monies borrowed on security of the County Rates, and of the Interest thereof, pursuant to the 49th sec. of the statute ; although this is a matter not strictly within the province of' your Committee to deal with—for the sake of convenience and information they have deemed it right to add it to their Report.
