The Committee having recommended to the Court at the Michaelmas Session last to grant to Henry Charles Kail, who had been Master Attendant Carpenter in the Asylum for 26 years, and was compelled to resign from permanent ill-health, a pension of ^1 a week, such recommendation was confirmed by the Court. The Farm Accounts cannot be made up till the end of the year, but there is every reason to expect a favourable balance both from the Farm and Garden. Dr. Williams, by the careful recommendation of an increased number of Patients for discharge, and also by his constant efforts in inducing Boards of Guardians to take back harmless Patients into the Workhouses, has been very successful in keeping down the number of Patients in the Asylum. The other Officers of the Staff have discharged their several duties in a manner highly satisfactory to the Committee. JAMES H. SCLATER, Chairman. Haywards Heath, 22nd December, 1883.
