    [COPY.] 3$UC6# (to toll).— To Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace assembled at the General Quarter Session of the Peace, to be holden at Aylesbury, on Monday, the 14th day of October, 1867. THE REPOST OF THE COMMITTEE OF VISITORS ELECTED AT THE EPIPHANY SESSION, 1867, FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE LUNATIC ASYLUM AT STONE, FOR THE PAUPER LUNATICS OF THE COUNTY, UNDER THE STATUTE 16th & 17th VIC., cap. 97, ss. 22 and 62. SHEWETH,—That your Committee refer the Court to their Report which was presented to the last Session upon the subject of the enlarge¬ ment of the Asylum, and they now submit for the consideration of the Court the designs prepared by Mr. Brandon, the Architect, for enlarging the Asylum, so as to afford accommodation for 50 additional patients of each sex; the total estimated cost of these additions is £7,075 (exclusive of architect’s commission and wages of a Clerk of the Works, and the necessary furniture and fittings). The addition of a separate Chapel as recommended in the minute of the Commissioners in Lunacy which is appended to the last report of your Committee, is highly desirable, and is, indeed, essential. This cost of a separate Chapel, according to the estimate of Mr. Brandon, would absorb a further sum of £1,500. Your Committee submit these matters for the consideration and de¬ cision of the Court.
