    associated entertainments are enjoyed by parties ranging from 550 to 370, whilst we are -informed that about 260 patients are usually confined to the airing courts for exercise, but this number includes those prevented by illnesss, old age, or bodily infirmity from going outside the walls. The duration of service of the attendants is satisfactory, only 10 having been here less than a year, and 5 of these are additions to the staff since the last visit. Including the head attendants, the total staff is 74, so that 64, at any rate, are or should be well acquainted with their work. We consider this return very creditable. We also note with pleasure that a Roman Catholic Chaplain has been appointed with a salary to minister to the spiritual wants of 43 patients professing that faith. The case books are well kept.
