Physical Description

Description
It was attempted yesterday to hold a court to consult for the relief of the unhappy wretches in the hospital for lunatics, but only five of the directors could be convened; the lunatics are unprovided with food and clothing; they were formerly supplied by the commissary, but there is now no such officer here; Mr. Galt, the keeper, wishes to give up his place, but has been persuaded to continue for a few days; if no speedy relief can be had, it would be best to return the poor wretches to their parishes.
