BUIE,' COUNTY EXPANDIT772I.

At the last quarter oniony for the county of
Bunny, at Reigate, a dieemion involving the expenditure
of no less a sum than 680001. fs the improvement and
enlargement of the County 'Lunatic Asylum at Wendstrotth,
look place by • large bench of magistrates epee:tally as-
semble! for the occasion. It appears that owing tee wavy
considerable increase in the number of ewe, the present
building, which is capable of containing about a thousand
patients, has been found tot eliy inadequate for the peewee,
and the matter was referred to a committee cf magistrates,
who reported that in their opinion it would be advisable to
purchase additional land rear the old taiidinr, and sweet
additional accommodation for 668 additional patients, at en
*atm cost of 68,0001. The county being already in debt to
the amount of over 200,0001, the meting so lingo au ad-
dition to that debt naturally created a good deal of anent/es
and the; qucation that waa now to be decided was whether
the Court of Quarter &manna would sanction the proposed
alteration and expenditure, and a lame number of magistretes
from all parts et the county assembled our the occasion. Mr.
Johnson, the chairman of the Newington Sessions, in
moving that the report and recommendation of the com-
mittee be oonflrmed, and the money vot.d, raid that the
visiting justices bad oommanicered with the Commissioners
I. Limey, and they 'proved of the proposed alterations. If
they were made, there would then be accommodation foe
neerly 700 additional patients, and although this was larger
than the number originally contemplated, namely 600, B.M it
wee found that the larger number could be provided for at
very little eddie tonal expense, and the committee, therefore,
pro vi justified in providing for that number. no makes
having been seconded by Mr. Hutton, soots diacwwiee
took' place, in which Mr. Oodw'm, Mr. Austen, and
Mr. Briscoe, M.P., took tart. The latter gent', man moved
that the question be adjourned for furtha consideration,—
Mr. Evelyn seconded the amendment end said he looked
with considerable anxiety to the rapid inmost In the debt of
the county, end he did not think the ratepayers world be
very well matiefled at so large an addition being made to it.
It appeared to him that • great many of the patients might
be seat to prevent asylums' and that it would be much better
to take that coarse then to have a large overgrown establish-
ment like the one proposed to be erected.—Mr. Johnson
