30_o!il. 14^. 5d. From cl.is ftatemcnt it 

 evident, that the expenditure, on an average, 

 has annually exceeded the income 391I. I's. 

 Id. J notwithftanuinii thirty-feven beds have 



been unoccupied during the greater part of j ... _ , „_ j 



the time. The average nu.nber of in-pa'icnts Arrowfmith, of Newbury, Berks, to Mifj

linpton, Somerfet. 



James Charter, efq. of Exeter, formerly 



collector of the cuftoms, to Mifs Williams, 



during that period, has been only 140 ; and 

 the above mentioned deficiency in the funds 

 ftill continues, though the number of pa- 

 tients has of late been reduced to 124. The 

 expenditure for the year ending at Lady-day 

 1804, amounred to the fum of 340-)! 13s. 

 Id. and upwards; whereas the income taken 

 «n an average as above ftated, has been but 

 2616I. i6s. 4d. ; confequently the yearly de. 



ficiency, if the prefent fyilem be puifued, .. 



without further aid from the public, will of Moniton 



probably be 800I. By the adoption of ccr- Dicit.] The Rev. Thomas Rowe, many 



tain economical meafures, the Committee years minifter of Dean Prior, 

 think itpsllible to make a yearly faving of At Stonchoufe, Devon, after a lingering 



one hundred pounds ; but yet fome more de- illnefs. Colonel I'ercival, of tiie Plymouth

 come. The Committee lament, that, though king and country faithfully in the above 

 former General Courts found it expedient to corps, in various parts of the world, nearly 

 ihut up two entire wards, it is now become un- from its being firft formed in 1755. H.'j 

 avoidably neceffiry to recommend to t!ie Ge- .Majcfty, in confidcraiion of paft fervices, and 

 neralCourtthefliutting up at leaft three wards liis declining hsaltli, had fome time fince 



granted him the letire.ment in the lift of field 

 officers on thjt cftahlirnment. His memory 

 will be long cherilhcd among thofe friends 

 who knew and valued him moft. His re- 

 mains were interred in tlie church-yard of bt. 



more, uniil fuch time as the benevolence of 

 the public (hall enable the Governor to re- 

 open the wards without fear of embarrafl'ment. 

 In confecjuence of the rcprefentations con- 

 tained in the preceding report, it was reluft- . -^ -, _ 



antly but unanimoufly refolved, that five George's. Stonehoufe, his pall bein ; fupport- 

 wards rnorc be ftut uc, fo as to bring the cd by eight of the fcnior field officers and

 Ihe Committee, however, entcttain too 

 high an opinion of the wifdom and humanity 

 of tiie nobility, gentry, clergy, and yeomanry, 

 of the county of Devon and i.s neighboarhooJ, 

 to think for a moment that thsy will fuffer
