The past year has been remarkable on account of the number of changes which have occurred in the staff of the Institution, and foremost among these we have to deplore the loss of our late respected Superintendent Dr. Oliver, whose death took place in May last. In August, Joseph Lloyd, the Chief Attendant, who had been for nearly 18 years in the service of the Institution, was obliged through ill health to resign his situation. He was consequently allowed to retire on a pension, and Thomas Ken worthy, who has been several years an attendant, was appointed in his place. In July last, Mr. Davies entered upon his duties as Assistant Medical Officer, and I have much pleasure in here testifying to the valuable assistance which he has rendered me in the management of the Institution. In conclusion, Gentlemen, I beg leave to tender to you my sincere thanks for the support and encouragement which you have- given me in the performance of the duties of my office, and for the kind attention which you have at all times paid to any suggestion which I have thought fit to lay before you. I have the honor to be, Your obedient Servant, SUPERINTENDENT.
