Report
The Committee appointed to investi-
gate and report whe Their the support of
destitute lunatics should, under any cir
cumstances, be made Town charge, make
the following report:
That In the absen &c of legal provision
upon the subject, they deem it proper
and equitable principle that the expenses
incident to the support of lunatics should
be made as general as possible, and the
burden not thrown upon any particular
Town. They recommend that such cases
be provided for from the County Treas
ury, until the State Lunatic Asylum shall
be ready for the admission of subjects:
and as the Legislature. by its action, has
sanctioned the principle of their support
by the State, the Committee think that
upon representation of the matter pro-
perly to the Legislature, with duly au-
tnenticated statement Of expenses, the
sums advanced and expended for the pur-
pose indicated, will be refunded.
