He has received help from the House already & wants some Coal badly as he says his wife is daily expecting to be confined.

The husband, 53 years, was run over by a sleigh on the 31st Decr. last & has been in the hospital ever since. They have no family. The whole place or room looks a distressed, forsaken looking abode.

House of Industry Minute Book and Case Recommendations 1879-1882 Page 390 https://archive.org/details/houseofindustrym00hous_4/page/390 1115. Charles Davies: in Case 1111, Doctor Visited, and found the family very destitute. The Man is far advanced in Consumption, the right lung being affected throughout to such an extent as to render it useless, but the left is comparatively good yet. Doctor thinks however from the character of the disease in the right, that its course will be rather rapid. Doctors opinion is that the report about finding him helplessly drunk the other day is entirely a mistake, for although he does not deny being wild in former days, yet Doctor does not think anyone could very easily make him drunk in his present state of health. He is unable to sit up. His wife was perfectly sober when Doctor saw her, and cannot say whether she is addicted to the use of liquor or not. Although one or two points about her indicated such to be the case, yet on the whole, appearances were in her favour. The husband has been ill seven Months and that with six Children would account for the condition of the House. Some of the Children are bad, particularly one boy. 1116. Margaret Hill: in Case 1040.

Doctor Visited, and states: I have examined Jane Boyle at the Haven. She was very quite [quiet] when I saw her, but said she was suffering from motion on the brain and had applied an imaginary blister to her neck with benefit. The matron tells me that she is harmless, but quite insane at times, generally at night, fancying that some person is always after her, coming out of Cupboards and all sorts of impossible places to catch her, and after disturbing the House in her terror. Formerly she used to barricade the door with House of Industry Minute Book and Case Recommendations 1879-1882 Page 391 https://archive.org/details/houseofindustrym00hous_4/page/391 boxes, chairs, [etc.] but latterly she has not. There is no doubt the poor woman is insane and I think it would be an act of cruelty to expose her to the annoyance she would experience from the class of woman she would have to mingle with in the House of Industry. The Lunatic Asylum is the only fit place for her. 1119. Mary Gormley): 1120. June Crawford): Applicants for admission. To call on Friday. Friday 21st October, 1881. Present, Revd. A. H.
