Amongst their observations, they have recorded their opinion, “ That the Sanitary condition of the Asylum is satisfactory ; that the Patients generally were found by them free from excite¬ ment, and their personal condition as to dress, and otherwise, was satisfactory, and creditable to those immediately respon¬ sible for their charge;’’ and they go on to say, We have to report most favourably of the cleanliness and proper condition of the several Wards and Booms, Beds and Bedding.” And they conclude by stating, The condition and management of the Asylum continues to be very creditable to Dr. Pausey, who is efficiently assisted by Dr. Browne.” The Committee beg to add that they join entirely with the Commissioners in the opinion expressed by them of the skill=, and ability, and attention of Dr. Parsey, the Medical Superintendent, and of the assistance afforded to him by Dr. Browne ; and the Committee desire to express also their satisfaction at the manner in which their duties have been performed respectively, by the Matron, Miss Paynes, and the Clerk to the Asylum, Mr. Sanders. The present weekly charge to the Dnions for the Pauper Patients is 8s. 5Jd., which has been the same throughout the year. (Signed) William Dickins. P. N. C. Hamilton. J. 0. Bacchus, O. Pell.
