    North Riding Lunatic Asylum, Clifton, York 25th March, 1869. To Her Majesty’s Justices of the Peace for the North; Elding of Yorkshire in General Quarter Sessions ASSEMBLED. The Committee of Visitors, on presenting the Annual Eeport of their Medical Superintendent, cannot refrain from expressing their deep sense of the loss which the County at large and the North Elding Asylum in particular have sustained by the lamented death of Sir John Johnstone, Bart., their Chairman. He was a member of the Committee of Visitors from the founda-> tion of the Institution, and its present satisfactory state is in a great; measure due to the constant care and attention which he bestowed L on its interests. Untimely as was his death, he had lived long enough to see the^ Asylum placed in such a position as to make the Chairmanship a far i easier task to his successors than it had been to himself; but still it will not be easy to find one who will so completely possess at the same time the personal good-will and esteem of the Officers of the Asylum and the confidence of the Eatepayers of the Eiding. BASILL T. WOODD, Chairman.
