    1J and several minor sums not contemplated when the £6,000 was raised, so that in fact the cost of the works for which the £6,000 was raised will not amount to the sum estimated for them. We also append to this Report a debtor and creditor state¬ ment in reference to the £900 placed to the credit of the Committee in April, 1856, for the purpose of furnishing new sleeping apartments, and for the general current expenditure chargeable against the county and city; that account shows a balance in hand of £74. Is. Id. Dr. Sherlock estimates that the ordinary repairs in the next year will amount to about £300; that it is probable that an increase of Patients will take place, which will require an outlay in furniture of about £200; and it is estimated that the new pumps for soft water (above alluded to) and works connected therewith may cost £200. Your Committee think that for these purposes, and that of meeting the deficiency on the £6,000 account, an additional sum of £675 should he placed to the credit of the next Committee—£600 to he raised by the county, and £75 by the city. (Signed) T. G. CURTLER, Chairman.
