    We have satisfaction in reporting that the Patients of faulty habits are very few in number, there having been, on the night before our visit, four wet beds only in the male, and one in the female division. This, however, does not, in our opinion, dispense with the necessity of regular night supervision, which, as respects cases of epilepsy, and on every account, is most desirable and generally found essential. In the course of our inspection we noticed a want of blinds or curtains to the windows of the Dormitories, and the upper portions of those of the Day-rooms with a southern aspect. In conclusion, we trust that the necessity for relieving Dr. Yellowlees of some of his present laborious duties, by the appointment of an assistant medical officer, will shortly receive the favourable consideration of the Visitor!
