The Hospital Committee make this appeal to public benevolence
Under circumstances of more than usual urgency.
It is now two years since the last festival.
During that time, while the prevalence of epidemic disease and
general distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, and
the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by
high prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
handing. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
amount.
A reserved fund of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been

The number of patients was last year 18,7,4, of whom 1,403 were
