These are the accounts for patients' board and expenses sent out for payment by those responsible for their fees This is a re-used volume. It had previously been used 30 June 1840 - 31 March 1842 as a Journal for Patients' Disbursements, ie a follow on volume to the Patients' Journal 1823-1840, RET 3/2/5/3. It also seems to have run in parallel with RET 3/10/1/6 which was used as a Patients' Accounts Book 1829-1842 When the volume was re-used, the pages after the disbursements entries were cut into an index of names, covering the remainder of the volume.
