</
lb

June last This Comittee Examined the Samples of the Cloaths and Bedding for the Patients
<
lb

</
lb

in Bethlem Hospital And on Reconsidering the same are of Opinion that the Cloth for the
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
Mens Shirts & Womens Shifts is to a Narrow and that for the future they shou'd be made
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
of a wider Cloth According to the Sample now laid before them and that instead of 3s.
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
the Staward shall be allowed 3/6 for eachThey find the Sample of Mens Shoes
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
very Slight and are of Opinion that for the the future they shou'd be made Stronger According
<
lb
>
</
lb
>
to a Sample now Produced and that instead of 3/3 the Steward shall be Allowed 3/6
<
lb

the Comittee put their bals to the New Samples of Shirts Shifts & Mens Shoes and also

to the rest of the Samples of Cloathing and Beading All which is Nevertheless Submitted

next CourtThis Court being Acquainted by Sevl. of the Comittee That

</
lb

after the said Report was Agreed to They had made further enquiry as to the Value of

</
lb

the sample Cloth reported Proper for the Patients Shirts & Shifts and do find that instead

of 3/6 there wou'd be a reason able Profit to the Steward of 3/2 each and that he is

</

Contented with that priceIt is therefore Ordered that for the future The Steward

may take 3/2 for a Shirt & 3/6 for a pair of Mens ShoesAnd that the rest of the
