The receipts amounted to £12,048 3s. 4dand the expenditure to £12, 860 14s. 2d. , which shows a deficiency of £812 10s. 10d., and a considerable increase of debt-viz., .64544 9s. 4d. In conducting the Lock Hospital, .6891 Is. 7d. was expended, against E857 7s. lld.the number of cases treated was 590, the falling off being entirely in females ; but the average number of beds occupied was 37—only one less than last year.
