    That on the 28th of September a deputation of the Board of Guardians of the Madeley Union accompanied by their Medical Officer visited the Asylum, and having seen and conversed with every one of the thirty-two Patients belonging to that Union, then in the Asylum, reported their entire approbation of the order, cleanliness, and regularity observed as far as possible in every department of the Institution. This visit gave great pleasure to the Yisitors, and they recommend it to other Boards of Guardians for their imitation, as such visits from persons living near their homes must be a great comfort to the Patients, and their testimony to the management of the Asylnm, being of a different character from that of the Commissioners in Lunacy, as coming from persons representing different interests, is, when satisfactory, most agreeable to the Yisitors and to the Medical Superintendent. The Commissioners in Lunacy and the deputation from Madeley Union both bear testimony to the good management of the Superintendent, Ur. Oliver, and of Mrs. Oliver, and of their kind attention to the Patients; and the Yisitors have great pleasure in concurring in so well merited a commendation. JOHN BATHER, CHAIRMAN.
