Messrs. Allen having discovered that Elizabeth Buchan- non, who was admitted to the Asylum as a County Patient on the 20th of September last, belonged to the Parish of Liverpool, they have obtained an Order adjudicating her settlement to be at that place. They have likewise dis¬ covered and adjudicated the settlements of Francis Crocker, a Criminal Lunatic sent to the Asylum from the West¬ minster Bridewell under the Secretary of State’s Warrant on the 12th of December last; and of Harriet Ellis, admitted to the Asylum on the 24th of the same month. A previous Order adjudicating her settlement having been quashed by the Court of Queen’s Bench, in consequence of her having- been sent under the provisions of the statute of the 9th Geo. the 4th, cap. 40, to a licenced house in consequence of there not being any room in the County Asylum. Messrs. Allen have also attended Parish Officers, made inquiries and corresponded in nine other cases (of which two were appeals against Orders obtained at the instance of Parish Officers) with a view of protecting the interests of the County. The sum directed to be repaid to the County Treasurer in the Adjudicated Cases is £6 18s. lOd.
