To the COMMITTEE of VISITORS of the Comity Lunatic Asylum at COLNEY HA TOIL Gentlemen, I have again the pleasure to submit to your Committee my Annual Report on the domestic and general arrangement of the Asylum e I have every reason to be satisfied with the management of the several departments en¬ trusted to the supervision of the subordinate Officers of the Institution. The Attendants continue, generally speaking, to discharge their duties satisfactorily, and in most cases evince much interest in the care and amusements of their Patients. The Annual , Entertainments were, as usual, on both occasions, looked forward to with much pleasure ; and con¬ sidering this, and the happy and pleasing results, I think it is to be regretted that they have not more frequent oppor¬ tunities of meeting; and would therefore suggest to your Committee to take into consideration the j^i'opriety of their assembling once or oftner in a month in the large Hall, which would probably tend to increase their enjoyment, as well as ensure greater order at their annual gatherings.
