66 At a Meeting of the Roman Catholic Prelates of
Ireland, held in Dublin on the 2S/ and 24tb of Au-
gust. 1815. the Most Rev. Dr. KELLY, President, the
'following Resolutions were unanimously agreed to:
g• Resolved, That it is our decided and conscientious convic •
tion, that any power granted to the Crown of Great Britain of
interfering, directly or indirectly, in the appointment of Bishops
fee the Roman Catholic Chinch ice Ireland, must essentially in-
jure, and may eventually subvert, the Roman Catholic Religioa
in this country.
" Resolved, That with this conviction deeply and unalterably
Impressed so cur minds' we eboulikoosidev ourselves as betray-
ing the dearest interests of that portion of the Church which the
GA•st has confided to our care; did we not declare OW
*equivocally, that we will at all times, and under all circuatos
=T, deprecate and oppose, in every casonical and connate:
way, any such interference.
,e 6 Resolved, That though we sincerely venerate the Supremo
Pontiff as visible Head tit the Church, we do not conceive that'
tsar apprehensions for the safety of the Roman Catholic Church
is Leland can or ought to be removed by any determination of
Holiness, adopted. or Intended to be adopted, not only with.
sot our concurrence, but in direct opposition to our repeated Rio
eolutiosta and the very energetic Memorial presented on our be.
and so ably eupponed by our Deputy, the Moat Rev. Dr.
Murray, who in that quality vas more competent to inform his
Hollis/en of the real state and interests of the Roman Catholic
Chi.rch In Ireland than puy other with whom he is said to have
minuted.
Resuived, That a declaration of these our notiments,
re-
spettful, firm, and decided, be transmitted to the Holy
which, we trust, will engage his HOltnew to feel and acknow-
kedge the justness and propriety of this our determination.

which it merits. It is one embracing so many inte-
resting considerations, that passion and individual
feeling should, as much as possible, be eicluded from

EXTRACTS FROM TIIE EVIDENCE GIVEN BEFORE A COM..

MITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF COMMON&
Elizabeth Forbes examined.
You are the matron of liethlem Hospital ?—I am.
How long have you been in that situation ?—I was
elected the 26th of Jattuat y •
Were you in any situation before that with respect
to the care of insane persons ?—Never : I never saw
;an insane pet till 1 wept to riethlem Hospital; I
commenced the duty the lA, of February.
How many female patients have you under your
care at present ?—Sixty-six at plesent ; the number is
&If Tent every week.
I low many persons have you under ersonal re.
vraint, considet ;:s blanket patients?--When I went
there first them wine about It or 15.
How many ate there now i—Abcut four or five.
These blanket patients ate chained to the wall in
the day-rooms —l'll general they are;- when I went
there at first they were.
At present the few that are blanket patients are so
fastened to the wall ?—Yes : we have but three.—
One of the female patients ha's been confined a long
time, chained by the leg, as much as five or six
years, I have been told ; and ere have another con-
stantly chained by the hands, that came in about two
months since; two of the other blanket patients are
only chained at times. I have them loose, to walk
about occasionally.
Since you have been in your situation, have you
made many alterations in the managemet.t of the
Hospital ?—As far as I had power. •
What have those alterations principally consisted
in ?—ln having them washed, and having them
cleaned, and their hair cut, and making them as de-
cent as their situations would admit of.

Making them get up ?—Yes, having them brought
into the side room, and letting them walk about;
if they have not been able to walk about without
handcuffs, they have been put on, and taken off af-
terwards.

Do not ;nu know that, prior to your appointment,
persons laid much longer in bed than they do now;
that there were mote persons confined in the day-
room ; that there was more personal restraint in the
hospital ; and that they had not the same liberty of
walking abcut, that they now have ?—Frurn the ap-
pearance in which I found them, when I went there,
in the side room, I have every reason to believe they
were under gt eaterrestraint, and were not up so much.
Is the allowance of food to the women the same as
to the men ?—Just the same, I believe.
Have you adopted any plan of separation, or is
there any accommodation to seplrate the noisy from
the quiet ?—No, that is impossible ; we CAnnot sepa-
rate tht m.

Have you any dottl.t respecting that noisy person
whom you spoke. of, titm her coatplsints arc greatly
-irritated by the number of persons going to see her
I.Bhe is very irritable if strangers go there; she is
very irritable; she is very healthy in appearance, and
is a very fine looking woman ; site laughs and is
pleased when I tell her I will take the chains off, and
says, I do not mean it. •
Have you ever learned she was violent and outra-
feous turthet than abusive never saw any thing
urther.

Have you ever beard that she attempted, prior to
her confinement in Bethlem, or since, any act of vio-
lence on herself ?-1 never heard of it. _ _

Can you state to the Committee what h the pro-
parti.n of dirty patients to clean ones. cut of that
66 ?-1.11/4re have very few that I can call really ditty
patients: all the blanket-gown patients that were in
the bide room when I went there, were stated to be
dirty patients.
Did yonfind them so ?—I found some of them so.
But not all ?—Not all.

lou found some of those clean who had been con.
fined At being dirty ?-LI found some of those that
1 found in the bide room able to walk about, and
therefore did not consider it necessary to Seep them

tnve.
youiconsider the number of dirty patients, since
you have been in your situation, and made that alters•
Con, consider: hi) lessened ?—Yes, they look butter,
and they look more healthy, from walking about.
Thq are also more cl.ce.:;ul ?—Yes, some of them :
wherever I see one that will admit of walking about,
l always let her.
And iL has generally answered ?—Yes, it has.
Have you not a patient in Bethlem by the name of
Miss Stone ?—Yes, Miss Anu Stone.
She was confined in the side roar., and a blanket-
patient, when you came there ?—Yes ; I asked the
reason of ter being always confined to the wall ; I
was told she was vet), troublesome and tore her
clothes; that she had a good many good things sent
to her; hut they were all torn ; I said I would try
her to walk about ; if she was mischievous, I said I
would have handcuffs; I found she was very quiet,
and I took them cif; I gave her a couple of caps,
!Ind she did not tear them ; she looks better, and very
corafprtable and tidy ; and every time I go round the
gallery, she says, accept my teal thanks for allowing
'roe my liberty. I have sent for clothes for her; and.
I will take her immediately under my own care, to
see that she does not tear them.

I-Live you any doubt, from tl:e situation in whiela
Mist :tune at present is, that when you receive the
clothes :,he will net tear them ?—She promises the
will not ; and if I can judge from a cap l'have given
her, which I have seen her wear for the last three
weeks or a month, 1 have every reason to suppose
she will not.

The other persons whom you have released, have
tl;t the same advances as Miss Stone ? One
that I have walking about, has not sense to know
exactly what she should do to be grateful I but I let
her walk about.

Then if her mental health is not improved, her
bodily health is ?-.—Yes, I think it is. Then 1 have
another patient, far advanced in a decline; she has
not sense of feel!ng, but 1 let her walk about to mom.
fort her.
Then, from the observations you have made, the
Flan of management which you have adopted, from
• tts success will induce you to continue it ?—Yes.
How often do the medical persons visit thel.ffe.
I nt female wards ?—Mr. Hasktm every day.
flies he visit every cell ?—I do not always go
round with his; I do solottiOns

When you go. noes he do it ?—He generally goes
through the two galleries.
And opens all the doors ?—Tbe keepers always
open the doors as persons pass, to shew the patients
to them ; every body is out of their cells every day,
therefotillhe does not look into the cells.
Does he not look into the cells to see that they are
clean, and in a proper state ?—Yes ; the doors are al-
ways opened by the keepers, that he may inspect
them. 'rhe apothecary is Mr. Haslam ?—Yes.
Mr. Haslam lives at Islington?—He does.
Since you have been matron, have any patients been
ill while he was absent ?—No; we have had two pa-
tients die since I have been there : when one was
taken ill I reported it to Mr. Haslam, and also to
Dr. Monro, who attended her during her illness. She
laid about a fortnight before she died.
How often does Dr. Monro visit ?—He attends
the committee every Saturday; he never missed
since I have been there.
Does he visit the patients then ?—lf there is any
case reported to him, heodoes.
But he does not go round, like Mr. Haslam ?
No, not without there is a case which requires attest.
Lion ; if the case is not reported to him, he does
not ko.
Do they always report if a person is unwell, or
only in particular cases ?—When they have a fever,
or are in a decline, or in a dangerous state, we re-
port them.
He does not visit those who are ill in bodily health,
unless they are specially reported to him ?—No.
How long is it since be has personally inspected
the female patients ?—He was through the tamale
gallery last Saturday.
Pritr to last Saturday, how long is it since he has
been there ?—1 cannot say.
How long do you think ; a month, two months,
or three nu ?—I think it may have been a month.
Wizen he went through last Saturday did he see all
the patients?—kle went expressly to visit a patient
last Sii:4ll day.
But be did not see all the other patients ?—They
were all walking about the galleries.
Since you have been matron, have you yourself
seen it, or have you heard, that Dr. Monre was in
the habit of personally inspecting the situation of
each patient at any given period ?—I have never
heard it.

. And' ou have never seen it ?—No ; there are pa-
tients who have been in some time, and that have not
had any thing done fur them.
You mentioned a person who was sick ; how often
d 7.1 he attend her,—the last that died ?—I believe he
did not see her at all ; she was not reported to him.
I reported.her to Mr. Haslam, and begged him to
see her; and said, I thought she could nor live long.
She d,ed of a decline, I believe. Mr. llaslam gave
her powders,, and that was all that was done, I be.
lien. Mr. Hasiem did not report her case to Dr.
biotin) site was confined to her bed a fortnight.
How often did Mr. Haslam see her in that fort-
night ?—Every day, I think, when lie came round.
Did he give her any medicine ?—A powder, when-
ever he thought it was necessary. I asked if she had
mcd:clne several times, and the keeper said she had
a powder.
