    9/38 (page 9)
    male patient who was found by the night attendant lying on his face, and quite dead, with a handkerchief tied tightly round the throat. No iuquest was held, but the matter was carefully investigated by the house committee, and the result was fully reported to the Commissioners in Lunacy. The Sunday services continue to be well attended, and the chapel generally over-crowded. The additional morning service has tended much to relieve the long and monotonous hours, and proved beneficial in every way to the patients. The occupation and amusements of the patients have been carried on as usual, and a dance takes place generally twice a week. In conclusion, I have again to tender my warmest thanks to the Chairman and Com¬ mittee of Visitors for their warm support, and also to my colleagues in office for the efficient and kind assistance I received from them. I am, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, G. TURNER JONES, SUPERINTENDENT.
