In persuance of an Order of Court of the 16 of January instant this Committee
mett to examine and consider the Fees taken by the Steward of Bethlem Hospital and
they find that the Steward never claim'd any Fees on the Admission or discharge of a Patient
but that to prevent Buggs being brought in bedding to the Hospital the Steward provides
bedding for the Patients on their AdmissionAnd that the Steward also furnishes
the Patients with Cloaths from time to time as occasion requires during their Stay in the
Hospital For all which he is paid by the Suretys or Friends of the Patients And when
their friends have sent Apparell for them The Steward has refused to suffer it to be
taken inAnd Samples of the said Bedding and Cloathing being laid before the Committee
and viewed by them They are of Opinion That the Bedding according to the said Samples be
provided by the Steward of the said Hospital for the time being for the Patients at their
Admission & that instead of the prices which have been usually taken by the Stewards for
such Bedding the following prices and no more be paid by the Patients or their Friends Vizt.
