A matron, who is a skilful midwife,
constantly resides in the hospital, and acts
as such in all natural and easy labours.

There are a sufficient number of nurses
and other servants to take care of the ly-
ing-in women, and do the common bu-
siness of the house.

Also a beadle, who constantly resides at
the hospital, to be ready to go on all mes-
sages, on sudden emergencies, and sum-
mon the Governors, &c.

Note, the servants of the house are for-
bid to take any fee or reward from the
lying-in women, on any pretence what-
soever, on pain of being discharged.

Married women admitted into this hos-
pital, must previously produce a certificate
of their marriage from a lawful Minister,
or in case they cannot, then an affidavit of
their being married, and the time when
and the place where, and also of the set-
tlement of their husbands, and by what
means such settlement was obtained.
And no woman is to be taken into the
house, who hath any contagious distem-
per, or has been accustomed to receive
alms of a parish.

Such gentlemen and ladies as chuse to
favour this laudable charity, are desired
to send their subscriptions, with their
names and places of abode, to the Trea-
surer, Charles Maynard, Esq; in Alders
