Seclusion, a very valuable remedial agent in some cases, has been seldom employed during the past year, but few cases suffering from that form of disease to which it is most applicable having been admitted. The Attendants, generally, both Male and Female, have.per¬ formed their duties to our satisfaction; many of the Patients when discharged having spoken in grateful terms of the kind- ness they had received at their hands. We regret that obstacles still exist to our obtaining possession of the Burial Ground referred to in previous Reports, but hope that these may eventually be removed and the land mace available as an Airing Court. , The Governors will, we are sure, be gratified to learn that the oreatest harmony of action prevails throughout the Hospital, a circumstance tending in a very material degree to increase the comfort and happiness of the Patients. We beg to subscribe ourselves, my Lords, Ladies, am Gentlemen, Your faithful Servants, Henry Monro, M.D., Qxon. Wm. Wood, M.H. Octavius Jepson, M.H.
