Ashburnham in ti 'l(3 chair. The minutes of the last meeting
having been read a ud confirmed,
The SECRETARY read the report of the committee of
management, which i3howed that since the last court of
governors only the um full complement of beds, nearly
200, had remained occu p,:ed, it having been found necessary
at the commencement o f the warm weather to empty
the extra beds. The nt, tn.-115er of applicants have COw
tinued to increase year b,y year. The numbers waiting
their turn for admission at ,the end of July, in the years
1860, 1861, 1862, were respet, lively 63, 166, and 188. The
attendances in the out-patient-1 department remained undk
minished. The committee has -e determined to give up the
premises known as the Manor L souse, at Midsummer, 1863,
acknowledging, in so doing, that under the judicious
management of Miss Marshant and the ladies' committee,
the Manor House in their hands as a "Home "
has afforded a welcome shelte r to many consumptive
patients before and after their ad 'Diission to this institu-
tion. The committee also report the gift of £899 14s.
7d. from Mr. and Madame Golds ehmidt, the proceedS
of a concert given on the 28th Of May. This gift
the committee regarded as the mos t opportune, as the
donations for many months had fallei 1 off so as to give
rise to fears lest the accounts should exb ibit a serious defi-
ciency at the end of the year. The comm ittee acknowledge
the receipt of increased help from the cle,Ngr, and express
their gratitude to the Archbishop of York„, the Bishop of
Bath and Wells, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of Car-
lisle, the Bishop of Worcester, and others, for their aid to
