invested capital of Rs. 34.000 in Government securities, and Rs. 4,000 was
actually invested during the year. A Government promissory note of 4½ per
cent having been paid off and re-invested in 4 per cent paper, it has been
shown on the debit and credit side of the accounts. The total invested capital
at the end of the year was Rs. 38,000 in Government securities of 4 per cent,
and a cash balance of Rs. 1,669.

important charity amounted to Rs. 6 only. The total income from these sources
in the two preceding years was Rs. 23,665 and Rs. 31,763. Regarding the sea-
men's dieting, Dr. Pilcher remarks that "the amount is manifestly a smaller sum
than should be paid to cover all charges." Government contributed Rs 5,168
for Europe medicines, clothing for European and native sick, diet of police
cases, cost of registers and forms, and part of the salary of the assistant
surgeon.
68. The total expenditure amounted to Rs. 23,634 against Rs. 28,032
in 1881, exclusive of the money invested. Buildiug charges in 1882 were
Rs. 911 only, against Rs. 6,577 in the previous year. Deducting these charges

in 1881. The expenditure on establishment exceeded by Rs. 1,163 that of
1881, which was Rs. 9,543. In 1880 it was Rs. 10,645. Bazar medicines
cost Rs. 475 against Rs 558. Rupees 800 were expended on Europe medicines
against Rs. 1,151. The expenditure on diet was Rs. 7,222, or Rs. 544 in
excess of that of 1881. The daily average number of European patients

was 9 annas, and among natives 1 anna 10 pie, to compare with 9 annas 2 pie
and 1 anna 7 pie respectively in 1881. Miscellaneous charges were nearly
