The patients rise every morning in summer at six o’clock, and in
winter at seven. They breakfast at eight in summer, and in winter at
half past eight. They dine daily at one, sup at six, and retire to bed
at eight, when they are locked up. Each patient has a separate room.
The bedsteads are of iron, with common sacking bottoms; the bedding a
good flock mattrass, a pillow, three blankets, a pair of sheets, and a
rug. The sheets are regularly changed every fortnight, or oftener if
necessary.
In the basement gallery, where the disorderly patients are, there are
no sheets, and they sleep on straw, which is changed every morning if
requisite.
