past year. The rev. gentleman said It was with gent con-
cern he had heard that which he was not aware of before,
that this excellent charity was in debt; but, perfectly con-
curring in the sentiments uttered by the chairman as regarded
the benevolent spirit of the town, he felt confident that, on
being better known, if it were only from motives of economy,
the charity would be better supported than it was. The
number of cases they had heard, as had been properly ob-
served, slimed that the greatest good had been done at the
least cost. Ile did not believe, if any of those cases had
presented themselves at our own door, hilt that th. imnnicn

been no establishment like this, under the care of a medical
gentleman upon whom we could rely, and have become re-
sponsible for a suitable remuneration to him. Ile (Dr. Dill')
did not scruple to say, that in this respect the town of Li-

...put,. ougut to consider itself providentially placed, in
having medical aid superior to which was not to be found in
the kingdom, nor indeed in any part of Europe or the world.
(Hear, hear.) We knew how valuable the time was of medi-
cal gentlemen , yet they would not allow any cases to go without
relief, although they might be benefitted at the same time
they were sacrificing time and abilities ; and although these
remarks would apply to. the other officers, he was sure the
name last upon the list would not be the least in the estima-
tion of the subscribers. (Hear.)
Mr. G. CROSSFIELD seconded the resolution, and hoped
it would be cordially adopted. It was the first time he had
attended a meeting of this institution, and he was filled with
astonishment at the number of cases relieved and the amount
of good done at so small a relative cost. He united in the
sentiment that, if this charity could fairly be brought before
the public, there was a charitable disposition abroad which
would not allow it to languish. He did not know what was
intended with regard to the interesting cases which the
medical officer had read ; but if they could be published
along with the report, and circulated, they would go far
towards bringing more subscriptions. The resolution was
unanimously carried.

Mr. HARMOOD-13ANNER moved the appointment of the
committee and officers of the institution for the ensuing
VPR

Mr. HUTCEIINSON seconded the motion, and it was
unanimously carried.

On the notion of Mr. H. BANNER, seconded by Mr.
NEILL, the thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Grant
for his services in the chair, and the proceedings terminated.
