referred to this Comittee to examine into the facts therein mentioned & report their

Opinion thereon to the CourtThis Comittee have examined into the same & do

</

findAs to the 1st. That a penny only is demanded of & paid by every friend

</

of the patients & the strictest enquiry amongst all the servants we do not find this
<
lb

</
lb

any more is demanded of or paid by any person who come to see a patient
<
lb

</
lb

As to the 2d. We find that on Holliday times great number of people resort to his

</

Hospital & in order to prevent distarbances the porter of the Hospital is an ann
<
lb

</
lb

made a Constable to keep the peace who with the Assistance of the other servt

And as to the sd. We find the Surgeon has frequently strong stale Beer bought

into the Hospital to made polhres for the patients & of times a Gallon in a

</

pint of Strong beer a day which the Doctor thinks is of great service to on

</

But we do not find that the servants or any of the patients are suffered
