infereur, and a very pleasing Fs draw from thet
c 'caparisoci wee that the fi apical h of been m re than
usually suooessful in curing the patients brought in,
and curing them more rapidly then they had done
before—that the curie had taken place more speedily,
and that consequently, though the simiselons had been

melt had been len. U that woe the case, and this
, was the legitimate inference, of warms it was very
pleasiag to the govesaorm to know that the working of
the Hoepitel bat improve]. (Apolaum)
The Tamara's (Major William.) then read his
financial statement, showing the various Lems of
reoe;pt and expenditure.
ifeffiag to the questioa of applying • portion of
the legacies erosive] during the sear to the oust of
warming the Hospital, the faLtBolllla said he believed
there wee a strung among the committee se
well as others that it was n right that all the
legacies' given in one year should be taken to swell
the income of the year ; but he believed the
committee might fairly ask toot they might have a
portion of the legacies kvso them to the amount of
£lOO, to meet the extra ex. eudit Ire Incurred solely loe
the comfort o: the patients in the long wards. On the
whole, as be ars he could see, the beet way would he
to fund Cl5O of the legacies, and apply the other £lOO
to meet the extra expenditure Incurred in whet we
really a fundamental part of the Hospital. The
Treasurer incidentally remarked he was • governor of
the London licepital, and they had issued • circular
stating that the Board of Governors bed decided to
allow out-patient tickets to be available for one view
of the doctor only ; 8o that it would be entirely at the
option of the doctor whether • ticket should be
available for another time or Sot.
The CHAISMAN remarked he did not think there was
anything ti be gained by that, and the subject
dropped.
A dimension ensued on the application of the
legacies and the advisability of Investing the money
aooordieg to rule, but Mr. Marrett-Poroar.o. asked
why they should invest £lOO when they owed it? The
CHAIRMAN replied the rule had always been that
lovelies should be invested.
Mr. BIM= asked would it not be well, al sub-
scriptions had decreased, to put their (hence' before

(Laughter.) His Ides warn that the whole of the 12.50
should be ionise', for everyone who left a leg icy

' The Rev. Canon Nam made the ingenious engem-

custom if they invested the LILO, and got permission
to *ell out the 1.100 that warn required.

The CHAIRMAN : Maintaining our principles at the
cost of half.a.crown. (lAugliter.)
Ultimately Canon Nash's motion was carried
unanimon.ly.
The CHAIRMAN moved that the thanks of the
' Cdivernore be tendered to the Committee of Manage-
ment. and the Oh•irmea especially, and he might say
oleo the Deputy-Chairman, for It. past year for the
trouble they had taken in the sucesseful management
which they had reported t them.

The Rev. T. W. Rains .e oole.l. lie was sure they
ought t be very much iodebte tithe medical M.aff.
as there were no uteinb.rs of the hoepital staff more
alomlutely .esentiol, and her os ere.l they were most
fortunate in the staff they now la ,d, comprising as it
did some gentlemen of long experience, and some
younger men of great promie. When changes occurred
of worst they were matters of regrxt among them,
and always would be. Am .ng some of his
own poor people (without the slightest reflection
upon any other gentlemen of the staff)
there was • feeling of regret that Mr.
Tudor hal withdrawn. Ile was core ,nally thankful
to the present medical staff, and was partioulorly glad
they were not t have any change. He expressed his
utmost confidence in them ; and, referring to the
remarks male on the shorter stay of the patients in
th institution, he hoped it would not go forth that
they were to get credit for bundling people out of the
hospit .1 as son as they could. With reward to the
oollectiona, he wag sure he spoke on behalf of all his
brother clergymen, when he said they took no credit;
the credit belonged to those who en kindly eontributed.
Dr. Loan and Mr. Etyma acknowledged the com-
pliment. Referring to the " bundling out" question,
Mr. Einem said he considered it • very important
point the petiolate should be kept In as long as they
were likely to derive any benefit from the Institution.
In accordance with that principle be hod acted, and
so long as he was connected with that institutioa he
should endeavour to do so. (Hear, hear.)
A cordial vote of thanks was given to Mr. Lush for
rio kindly auditing the aoompats ; and It was
unanimously resolved to request Mr. Lush to act Is
that capacity in the ensuing year.
In proposing a vote of thanks to the Treasurer,
Captain Maxiit thanked all those who had promised
him assistance toward., the proposed Provident
Dispensary. He explained only one medical man in
the town would give him any elpport, therefore it was
bound to fall through. He regrett .4 this, as it had

Major WILLIAM, in reply, said the thanks were due
not to him, but t, Mr. Groves for the excellent way
he wrote the figures and prepared the accounts.
Mr. E. PEARCE proposed • vote of thanks to the
Chairman, who, wh his services were not
rendered to the county in London, wee ready at all
times to take part in all local =Hers, and give his aid
to any institution such as that. (4.Pb/tu)
