General cleanliness and
supervision.
The strictest supervision has been maintained over all portions of the Asylum,
the slightest speck of dirt in the sleeping wards is at once
removed, the wards are constantly leeped with fresh earth, and
the upper portions whitewashed; and as regards cleanliness, I believe no improvements
can be made.

Gardens.
The flower garden has been well kept up and is the admiration of all visitors, while
the whole of the large vegetable garden has been under constant
cultivation and has afforded abundant vegetables of all kinds,
tobacco, &c., and thus has been a source of profit as well as useful occupation.
Diets.
Every attention has been paid to the diet; the rations are inspected and passed by
the Deputy Superintendent, both in their raw and cooked state.
The meals have been issued at regular hours twice a day, and the
same order and decency of conduct during meals has been enforced. The food, which has
been of the same description as heretofore, (Vide diet table) has been uniformly of good
quality and sufficient in quantity.
