Lunatics at Hanwell Asylum Rent Increase Meeting
A Middlesex county meeting of churchwardens overseers and guardians debated rising maintenance charges at the County Lunatic Asylum Hanwell from 7s 6d to 10s 6d per week. Resolutions urged economy, blamed inattention for variations, and called for a representative finance board to curb costs. Stormy weather followed with flooding and shipping losses along the Thames and at Gravesend docks, including a capsize at Chelsea reach and multiple vessels sunk or damaged. The Glodds Dock Company reported improved finances amid increased traffic at St. Katharine Docks despite reduced imports from China and silk in the prior year.
