A Secretary keeps the accounts of the
hospital, attends at general meetings, and
weekly boards, and does all other business
commonly done by the Secretaries, Clerks,
or Registers at other hospitals.

A Steward takes care of the provisions
and furniture, and does such other business
as belongs to his office.

A Matron, well skilled in midwifery,
delivers the women in easy, natural la-
bours, takes care of the women, super-
intends the nurses, and sees every thing
necessary for the women and chiildren pro-
vided according to the direction of the
Physicians and Surgeons.  She has under
her an assistant matron.

All officers and servants of the hospital,
above the rank of assistant matron, a
messenger, and nurses, are elected by bal-
lot at a general court of the Governors:
and on any vacancy, the day of election
for filling it up is appointed at least one
month, and not more than three months,
from the day such vacancy happens, unless
directed otherwise by an express order of
a general court: but the inferior servants
are appointed by a weekly committee.

The qualification of an annual Gover-

Ladies subscribing the like sums have
the privilege of recommending women in
the same manner as Governors.  They
have likewise a right of voting in all elec-
tions at general courts, for officers and
servants, by proxy, provided such proxy
be a Governor of this charity; or they
may send a letter to the board without a
proxy, naming the person they vote for,
which is regarded as their vote: but no
Governor is to be proxy for more than one
lady at a time.

Benefactions or subscriptions of smaller
sums than those abovementioned, are
thankfully received, and properly applied
to the use of the charity.

A general meeting of the Governors is
held every quarter; and the sole power of
making laws and rules for the government
of the hospital is lodged in this general
court.
