    and neither accidents nor casualties of any kind have occurred since our last report. Your Committee have regularly inspected the Asylum during the year, at which times they have found the patients clean and contented, the house in good order, and the officers and attendants efficient, and kind to those under their charge. The new Dining and Recreation Hall, for which a sum was granted at the July Sessions, is in course of erection, and although delayed by various causes, will, when completed, prove a very useful and necessary addition to the Asylum. With the exception of portions of the roof of the wing ends, erected about 12 years since, your Asylum buildings are in a firm and substantial condition, and the ventilation and drainage good. Signed, SHREWSBURY AND TALBOT, Chairman.
