    TO HER MAJESTY’S JUSTICES OF THE PEACE FOE, THE CoiJNTV OF MIDDLESEX, IN GENEEAL Quaetee Session assembled. THE SIXTEENTH REPORT of the COM¬ MITTEE of VISITORS of the LUNATIC ASYLUM for the County of Middlesex, situate at Hanwell, being the Ninety-third since the com¬ mencement of the Asylum. The Committee have much satisfaction in reporting to the Court that the whole of the Works undertaken to enlarge the Asylum have been finally completed during the year which has just expired. Those works have continued over a longer period of time than had been anticipated, owing, in some degree, to the nature as well as to the extent of the alterations and additions, and also to the difficulty of con¬ necting the new Buildings with the old, so as to complete the harmony of the whole structure ; completed as they now are, the Committee can refer with pleasure to the state and condition of this great Asylum, in all its arrangements, interior as well as exterior, by which accommodation of the most excellent kind has been provided for upwards of 1,700 of the pauper Lunatics of the County of Middlesex.
