noon, Sir John Musgrove, the president, in the chair, when
the report of the deputation of four of the goveruors
recently appointed to examine the hospitals of Frame,
Belgium, and Holland, wee received with great satisfactioo.
A motion was then made to leave the whole question of
choice and purchase of site to the grand committee, subject
to the provisions of the act of parliament, upon which
an amendment was moved, very much, it was understood,
with the view of continuing the hospital at the Surrey
Gardena. In the debate that followed, the treasurer (Mr.
R. Baggallay) and the leading members of the grand com-
mittee stated that no site had been chosen, or even discussed; '
and that 30 to 50 acres ought to be obtained as near es
possible to London. Finally, the motion was carried by a
considerable majority ; as also another directing the archi.
tect of the hospital to prepare plans to be submitted to a
future court and to the medical men ; and, after votes of
thanks to the deputation and president, the meeting
adjourned.
