    It was suggested in the last Annual Report that it would be a great advantage to the Patients if those who had spare books, suitable for the Asylum Library, were to send them. The Yisitors have to thank those (who are very few) who have responded to the appeal. The charge for weekly maintenance through the year has been 10sv 2^d. per week. The Yisitors expect to he able to reduce the charge to 9s. lid. from the 1st. of January instant. The Asylum was visited by the Commissioners during the year once, August the 8th. Their report was read to the Court at the October Sessions. The Yisitors have every reason to be satisfied with the skill and management of the Superintendent, Mr. Ley, and with the zeal aud conduct of the other Officers of the Asylum.
