Rader al to public benevolente
The Hospital Committee make this
Rader 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 d
teneral distress has caused an increase in the number of patients, a.,
the cost of maintaining the charity has been further augmented by
Igh prices of provisions, the Committee have proceeded with plans
for improving the accommodation for patients by an extension of the
'betiding. They have thus incurred expenses and liabilities to a large
automat.
A. reserved fend, of upwards of 5,0001. has been exhausted, and a
debt of 1,5001. contracted. For some time past the Hospital has been
dependent for its maintenance on a loan from the Treasurer.

This charity, besides providing relief in sickness for the poor of the
P°Pnlous and increasing neighbourhood in which it is situate, is open
as v. free hospital to all sick and destitute persons, and for the
pose of extending its benefits as widely as possible, the clergymen
end ministers officiating in the surrounding parishes are invited to
lend patients.
Of tho annual cost of maintaining the charity on Its present footing
a naolety is contributed by the Medical School of University College.
About 2,5001. being annually pith; over by the Council to the Hospital
'lOreasmittee as the amount of student.s' fees for clinical instruction.
The disbursements amount. to 5,0J01. ; a deficiency of 1,9001. has to.
be Provided for every year.
Beds and other furniture are required for the new wards ; the an-
,...al expense of supporting the occupants of sO additional beds is es-
uotated at 1,500/. The number of beds which the Hospital is now
e4Pable of containind.is 200.
The number of patients was last year 18,794, of whom 1,403 were
in-patients, and 508 women in childbirth, attended at their own ha-
'Mations ; the remaining number received relief as out-patients or as
casual applicants.
A clergyman of the Church of England officiates as chaplain, but
TY patient is allowed to haver he advice of a minister of that form
religion which be himself prosses.
The advancement of the sciences of medicine and surgery is ?ro-
t:noted, and much consequent benefit conferred on the public of all
Gasses by the existence ef the School of Medicine, of which this Hos.
Mal forms so important p. branch
