The committee. appointed to investi
gate the charges against the Managers
of the Insane Asylum aud to look into
its affairs generally. has been at work
several days. It has been examining
the accounts and finds good deal to
condemn. The committee will, un-

duties and functions of officers and
Managers are not clearly defined.
