The House Committee, recognising the necessity of providing the Medical Superintendent with efficient assistance in carrying out his onerous duties, have appointed two Assistant Medical Officers, Dr. Moynan, the former Assistant Medical Officer, resigning his post. Out of many candidates, they selected Dr. A. N. Little, of the Worcester County Asylum, and Dr. C. Caldecott, of the Eastern Counties Asylum, Colchester, to the senior and junior offices respectively. Their high qualifications and excellent testimonials give assurance that these gentlemen will prove valuable officers. During the year the establishment has been regularly visited by members of the House Committee, who are glad to be able to congratulate the General Committee on the steady progress and improvement in the general con¬ dition of the Hospital. The large amount of work going on in the interior in the way of alterations and improve¬ ments has caused some inconvenience, and made the work of management more difficult; but the arrangements made for their comfort have minimised inconvenience to the patients. The House Committee desire to record their thanks to Dr. Rees Philipps for his able management, which has met with their entire approval. G. MARTIN-HOLLOWAY (Chairman)^ H. J. DE SALIS. H. C.
