seduced to a very small sum. He said that Lord

sad others had also given their aid, and he commended
it to the charitable throughout the oounty. The object
of the fund is to give a little help to poor patient,..
-on their leaving the asylum, to enable them to get such
comforts for a time as they we,. unable to provide for
themseives. Messrs. Williams and C.O. had allowed..
account to be opened for the Charity Fend, and be
