of a very valuable awl faithful servant, the late matron at
Forston, Mrs. Bement kcliorUy bsclore the last quarter soadons
her health became suddenly Impaired, and leave of absence
was given her In the hope that rest and change of air in Port-
land, where she went on s visit to her daughter, might be
beneficial to her. tier illness, however, shortly assumed •
Hutch more wrious character, and she died there towarde the
end of February She had not been diecharged from the mi..
vice of the county, and the visitore defrayal the auto attendant
i.e. her clines and her funeral. A pension of f. 15 per annuls
has been granted hy the Visitors to Josiah Sharp, aee,,rdteg
to the prov si.ms of the statute lic is 7 Z year• of age, esei
has been 1.. vendee with his wife at the Pontos Asylum,
gsnlener and lodge-keeper, for ts yaws. The visitors ask for
the acclimation of this tension by quarter Seirsimic as ree
quirts' by 'nand 25 Vic., c. 111.5. 12. It was oniensl that,
subject to the approval of the Court, a further sum of gsoo be
paid from the Non-Pauper and Out-County Surplus Fund to
the County Treasurer In relief of the county-rue. The period
of la months having dams! since the proposal for a new
burial ground was submitted to the Commissioners in Lunacy,
and, after much awrespondenoo with them and other panda.,
It not appearing that they would sanction Use mulasion of the
mortuary chapel Iron. the phui submitted to them the visitor's
decided to primed cith the erection of the mortuary chapel
awl the acmawation of the burial ground as mon u poui
In reply to a question the hon. member mad he thought
the cost of the mortuary chapel would he about : the
estimate for chapel and wall was .1;500, and the latter had
cost £l.i3, so that if the estimate were carried out the
outlay for the chapel would be something like Alt°.
The Bev. CARA GI.VI said be hoped the court would
hear him (Si' • short time while he expressasi the View, of
himself and others a ho wished to save TAM to the county
rate, for he understood that the projected mortuery chapel
would cost at least VAIII. The relations of lunatics very
seldom atteuded the funeral., at all, and there was never
any number precut; and he thought that having the
first part of the service performed in the cemetery chapel
and the latter part in the cemetery would he everything
deeoritai required and as such sattdactory to the relativee
of the lunatics. Ile did not prop.we to auk Mr. Moyer
to write again to the Couniabaioners, as he (Mr. Fl.. em)

self—wee., obliged to he • little careful how it carried out
any improvements suggested, though all earnestly wished
to do anything which was really for the benefit of the
poor creatures an the asylum... Ile proposed to the court
that the clerk to the eonitilittee write a letter to the COM'
StaainZ they greatly desired to save the .1:500
to the county, that they .li.l not see the necessity for a
, mortuary chapel, and that if they (the Csminiime in)
'timid grant the trust deed they believed the Bishop of the
Diocese would conseerate the eemetery, awl that after a
trial of one year without a mortuary chapel if any

matter to be laid on Mr. Floyer, but he as. anxious that
through the clerk the Commissioners should be informed
of the feeling of the court upon the matter. Ile moved
that so much of the report es mien to the mortunry
chapel be postponed.
