The Hospital at Worcester has accommodations for three hundred and twenty-seven patients, besides the solitary and strong-rooms, or cells, which are designed for an occasional, and not a permanent, use; but when the house is crowded, as it is now, and as it has been excessively for several years, the officers feel compelled to make constant use of some or all of these strong-rooms. Although this institution contains now three hundred and sixty-four, and did contain five hundred and sixty-seven, previous to the opening of the Hospital at Taun- ton, yet, regarding the best good of the patients, three hun- dred and twenty-seven is es utmost that can be received.
