It was found, how-- ever, that before the intended structure at Hamilton could be made available some interim accommodation for lunaties must bhe provided in order to the immediate relief of our gaols and overcrowded asylums. _ The S Department was so fortunate as to secure, | under a five years' lease, the use of Regiopolis : College as a branch asylum, which has been placed under the management of the officers t of the Rock wood Asylum. Aftersome revairs * and sh.ghtv alterations, very suitable accom-- | | modation was thus provided for one hundred and fifty patients.
